Fly Fishing Film Tour - Update!

Not that this is super-current news, but I thought this would help clear everything up. Most importantly, the Tour is still happening and will be a blast, especially on a chilly Rocky Mountain evening. Courtesy of the one and only Straq and WayUpstream:

"As you may have heard, The AEG Fly Fishing Film Tour is now evolving into The Drake Fly Fishing Film Tour. Tom Bie, Chris Keig and Doug Powell acquired the tour from previous owners Terry Wolvert and Jim Crystal shortly after Thad Robison, Justin Crump, Chris Owens, and Brian Jill emailed resignation messages to all the sponsors on 12/31/08. The DF3 Tour is scheduled to be in a town near you starting next month. The most substantial change that the new owners highlight is that the filmmakers will take a share of the profits, based on a model that the Banff Mountain Film Festival has been using for years. For a more detailed account of this story, read Tom Bie’s post from 1/16/09 titled "The show must go on". "

I plan to attend the Colorado Springs, Denver, Boulder, Ft. Collins and Casper tour dates (Patagonia is still the official clothing sponsor) in February. I will have some great gear for prizes on hand so please introduce yourself and enjoy the show!
