It's the middle of November... It gets dark by 4:30, lakes have started to freeze over, ice forms on your guides now at 2pm, and any sign of decent sized dry flies is way gone. Come another couple months you'll be jonesing for any kind of serious fly fishing entertainment, no matter the flavor...

Enter The 2010 Fly fishing film tour. This year the tour officially kicks off in January and hard and firm dates will be posted on their site December 1st of this year. 

There will be upward of 40 stops in major cities and 50 other independent promoters of the tour in smaller cities, put on by fly shops and groups like TU for all you folks who don't live near near the regular tour towns... Everyone who shows up will get a free fishpond hat ($20 value) and tickets can be bought online for $14 or $12 dollars at your local fly shop.

Official selections haven't been made, but it's a good bet there will be films by RA Beattie, World Angling, Confluence Films and the previously unreleased...

... video Metalheads from the now defunct AEG group which was never supposed to see the light of day. 

Winners of the whole shebang for best film will take home an all paid trip for two, to Patagonia for 10 days. 

Get excited and look for more updates on the FlyFishingFilmTour here in the next couple of weeks.

Tim, I posted this comment on the original story that inspired me (about the trout bombers), but I am not sure how often you check comments on your old stories, so I thought I would copy and paste the post on your most recent blog entry. Sorry if this is intrusive, but I wasn't sure how else to try to get in touch.

TR- this is a bizarre request. But, I am a student at Yale University, and your story inspired my research paper for a class here at school. I am writing about the practice of states stocking fish in designated National Wilderness Areas, whether it should be allowed, and what message it sends to citizens about how to responsibly interact with and preserve wildlife, nature, and our wilderness areas. I would love to ask you a few questions about your story. I understand you are very busy, but if I could email you with these questions I would really appreciate it. If you could just shoot me an email if you can help, my e-mail address is sam.duprey@yale.edu. Thanks very much.

I think this would be a good way to spend a cold wintery evening but there are no showings close to me. I guess I'll have to stick with the teaser flicks I see on various sites.

Sduprey,

It wouldn't hurt to post your question in the answers section of this forum.

Sam,

Yeah, I check older stories pretty infrequently... Sorry about that. I'll shoot you an email in a bit. You can post on our blog wherever and whenever you want. Especially if you're trying to ask one of us a question.

Buckhunter,

Relax... Please let us regulate our blog.

You may have mistaken my suggestion for a demand. I should have wrote:

It would not hurt if you ALSO posted the question in the answers section so some of our bloggers with biology backgrounds may assist you.

Sorry. Some post are not well thought out and are cut short when the phone rings.
