This is going to be a December to remember at The Caddis Fly Angling Shop. Let’s start with the most important announcement: Steelhead brewery beer on tap at the shop the entire month of December.
Also, we’ve launched our online store today, CaddisFlyShop.com. Chris just did a new video listing the best fly fishing Christmas gifts for 2008:
Last but certainly not least, we’ve got some huge events next month, so mark your calendars:
Monday December 8: Drift by Confluence Films comes to Eugene, OR
Trout Unlimited Chapter 678 and Confluence Films are happy to present the new fly fishing film Drift, narrated by The Drake editor Tom Bie. One of the featured anglers in the film, Oregon’s own Brian O’Keefe, will be on hand to talk about the new movie and his new online fly fishing magazine, Catch. Tickets are $10 and the proceeds for the event will go to the McKenzie Upper-Willamette Chapter of Trout Unlimited. The event is being held at the David Minor Theater in Eugene — a new venue serving Ninkasi Beer during movies! We’ll also be showing the top four “shorts” from this year’s Drake Video Awards. We’ll have shorts from the latest project by Travis and Ben at Felt Soul, Jamie Howards new clip from Bass-The Movie, Will Benson’s permit short, and R.A. Beattie’s Streams of Consciousness.
This event has sold out in Portland and Bend already this year. Due to limited seating, tickets are pre-sale only. So come to the Caddis Fly to pick up your tickets before they’re gone.
