Doors open at 6:30pm and the presentation begins at 7pm. Tickets are $20 in advance ($25 at the door) and all money raised after expenses will be donated to TU Canada.

In addition to the seminar there are 2 door prizes to be won: the first is a guided fly fishing trip in southern Ontario with Paul Castellano of Cast Adventures, Ken Chandler of Ontario Drift Boat Guides, Rob Heal of The Home Pool or Mike Verhoef of Fly Fitters and the second ‘Grand Prize’ is a free trip with Avalon in Cuba!*

We are having this event in Oakville to make it accessible for as many people as possible so we hope you will join us! For those coming from outside the immediate area please note that the Holiday Inn Oakville is just off the QEW and only a 3 minute walk from the Oakville Trafalgar GO station which is also a VIA Rail Station.

Tickets are available at WILSON’S and seating is limited so purchase your ticket today! For more details Cuba Fly Fishing Seminar April 13, 2011

*Flights not included

If nothing else we’re keeping the folks at UPS busy because Sage, Simms, Patagonia and Orvis all arrived this week and Billy, Hugo, Ian and Sheldon are all pulling their hair out at the moment trying to get everything unpacked, into the system and onto the floor.

If you are looking for Canada’s best selection of fly fishing gear now would be a good time to pop into the store! Just an FYI…

Happy Thanksgiving !

I gotta say there is going to be one huge sigh of relief from our team when our new site goes live… immediately followed by a Homer moment when we look at something stupid on the site that we missed that will be painfully obvious to everyone (except of course to those who have been immersed in it). You know the moment. You look at something you have been laboring over for what seems like forever and think, “…oh crap.” Hopefully there won’t be too many of them but we will appreciate you letting us know if you see any!

We are finishing up loose ends today and look forward to hearing what you think of our new site… we’re down to counting the hours!
