Peter Morse will be making a visit to the United States in May. As a guest of Sage, he will be touring their factory on Bainbridge Island, Washington before flying to Florida to fish for tarpon in the Keys and Homosassa. Most importantly, Peter will be making an appearance at the Sage factory to present a slideshow and talk about fishing opportunities in Australia to a group of professional guides.

30 years ago TU, the US Dept of Fish and Wildlife, other conservation organizations and individuals with deep concern for trout and their enviroments gathered in Yellowstone Park to discuss issues. The International Wild Trout Symposium was born.
This year sees Wild Trout 8 and although many are missing from the original gathering the passion and drive remains the same. The A.Starker Leopold award is a classic example of how this passion lives on. Marty Seldon a former awardee of the Leopold has penned a very interesting piece on the history of the symposium.

Its on again folks!! You meet all sorts of good people in Mexico and one we have become friends with during the last five years is Dan Dryer of Baja-Anglers. Dan rang me this morning to remind me of the upcoming tournament that he organizes in Cabo San Lucas. Its a interesting concept tournament that alots double points to fly anglers! Please check out the following release and information>>

The best tribute to Del Brown might be that the permit fly fishing tournament that bears his name has become an annual tradition for a cast of characters who are as driven and innovative about the sport as he was.

Nineteen teams of anglers and captains will vie to catch and release the most and largest permit at the fourth annual Del Brown Invitational Permit Tournament next week. They will fish out of Hurricane Hole Marina on Stock Island, adjacent to Key West, March 10-12.

What a weekend we just had at the second annual Seattle Fly Fishing Show. Held at the Meydenbauer Center in downtown Bellevue (a smaller city 9 miles from Seattle). Chuck Furimsky who runs the show did another great job and it all ran like clockwork. Having had a booth at every flyfishing show in Seattle for the last six years (first one in the now gone Kingdome) gives me some insight to make comment. First Class would be my observation full-stop! After being at many shows at such venues as San Mateo, Denver, Florida, Las Vegas, Reno and a few more this show shines brightly and has a even brighter future.

Local Seattle folk will know that "The Flyfishing Show" is coming back to town for the second year. We had an awesome time last year and look forward to seeing all the folks at our booth again. Additionally I will be conducting two presentations in the "Destination Theatre" . On Saturday "Fishing Downunder" (Australia's Piscatorial Diversity) @ 12.30 in room B and again on Sunday morning @10.30am in room A. Full line up of the schedule and links to the site are available by clicking read more .
Hope to see you all there.
