I'll drop the next batch of parcels in the mail early next week and will pick the two random winners of the Tippet and Tales giveaway on Wednesday, February 1st.
BLUE LINE CO. - Project Isuzu - The Shakedown
Maybe it's my affinity for our 2004 Honda Element with over 300,000 miles on it but 'Project Isuzu' from the boys from Blue Line Co. really resonates with me. I'll be following along with this series for sure.
Check out the Blue Line Co. website and be sure to follow along on Instagram and YouTube.

THE CRAFT - The Feather Mechanic
There is no doubt that Gordon van der Spuy is quite a character but I also think he's genius when it comes to fly tying. The latest episode of The Craft is a wonderful highlight of him, his story, and the small mouth yellowish of the Bokong river in Southern Africa.

NATIVE FISH COALITION - Annual Epic Fly Rod Raffle
For several years now, the Native Fish Coalition, with the support of Epic Fly Rods and Midcurrent, have offered a raffle fundraiser. This time around, tickets are available for an Epic Studio Built 8' 5-weight that has a retail value of over $1,100.
If it needs any endorsement, I have an Epic 8' 5-weight and it's one of my favorites. Progressive in taper and can do everything from trout streams to bass creeks.
There are only 100 tickets available and they are $20 each or three for $50. Purchase your raffle tickets online and they will continue to be offered until all tickets have been sold.
Since we last talked about NFC, they have continue to plant chapters and now have 15 state chapters from Maine to Georgia. Their focus on native fish stretches from brookies to bass and I continue to be impressed with the growing length of their reach. Look for chapters in the Great Lakes area next...
Visit the Native Fish Coalition website to learn more about their movement and support their work with a raffle ticket or three.
