Tuesday, January 28, 2014
Well, it has been a long time since we posted. Things at the FFB household have switched gears of late and we are trying to re-focus our efforts to bring FFB to the forefront in the fly fishing community. We moved last year and have another imminent move on the horizon, that coupled with taking a new job and watching Evie grow bigger and smarter everyday has taken a lot out of our focus.
My little princess is almost 4 years old now. She has been a sheer joy for my wife and I and she continues to astonish us with her personality and intelligence.
For 2014, we will be attending the following shows:
Rapidan Chapter TU Annual Show - on March 1, 2014 at the Warrenton Fair Grounds.
National Capital Angling Show - on March 9, 2014 at Bethesda Maryland.
Virginia Fly Fishing Festival - April 12-13 at Waynesboro, Virginia
Project Healing Waters Annual 2-Fly Event - April 27, 2014 Rose River Farms
Casting for Recovery Annual 2-Fly Event - October 26, 2014 Rose River Farms
Come see us at one of these shows!

New 2012 Aluminum Benefit Boxes are in!
Our new Project Healing Waters and Casting for Recovery Aluminum Fly Boxes are here! We have been making Project Healing Waters Fly Boxes for 4 years and this year, we built the first Casting for Recovery set of aluminum fly boxes. This year, the Project Healing Waters boxes sport a purple logo and lettering, while the Casting for Recovery boxes sport the familiar logo in pink!
The boxes are designed, built, transported, and marketed with the sole purpose of raising funds for the programs. In addition to the build, transport and marketing costs, we have to pay the import duty and Federal Excise Taxes (F.E.T.) on all sales and basically, the proceeds from the sales of all boxes are donated to the respective programs.
Please supoport Project Healing Waters and Casting for Recovery with a purchase of any branded gear we build and sell. Project Healing Waters page is here: PHW and the Casting for Recovery page is here: CFR.
Here are some shots of the new boxes:
Come take a look at the boxes and support our organizations.

The spirit of giving
Fly Fishing Benefactors builds and badges gear for Project Healing Waters (PHW) and Casting for Recovery (CFR). This gear is sold and the proceeds from the sales is donated to the respective organizations. Fly Fishing Benefactors also supports Reel Recovery in any way that we can. In addition to these groups, we provide gear and support to the Trout Unlimited Annual Trout Camp in Virginia (and sometimes Georgia). Fly Fishing Benefactors is also trying to provide assistance to the Friends of the Rivers of Virginia. This is an effort to defend public fishing from age old grants that seem to be causing problems all over the United States.
We offer the opportunity to donate to these organizations on our website. Please consider sending a dollar to these organizations. It all adds up and it helps the cause.
In recent months, I have had numerous people offer to send gear and donations to the programs that Fly Fishing Benefactors support. I'd like to recognize these people who have sent in donations and equipment for our benefit groups. First, we have Jason Filbert from Kansas. Jason donated a huge lot of fly tying materials. Evelyn Applebaum from Georgia sent in some great artwork to donate and use for the cause. Caroline McCallister from Arkansas sent in some cash and equipment to support the causes. I'd like to extend my personal thanks to these great fly fishers and supporters of the Fly Fishing Benefactors support groups. These are the people with the same spirit that we have and we welcome them to our team!
