	"The nice part about fishing all the time is that an angler can spare moments for just sitting and watching the water. These spells don't even have to have a purpose, but it is hard not to discover some secrets during such interludes. The fisherman without a schedule doesn't need to rush about, casting furiously in a hunt for every possible trout. For this reason, he usually catches more of them." --Gary LaFontaine, Trout Flies: Proven Patterns Search–> Books - Video, Audio, Software - Gifts Search tips ¸. , . .•´•`•..•´•`•.¸. , . .•´•`•..•´•`•.¸. , . .•´•`•.. ><((((º> Every Fly-Fishing Book in Print~ Buy 3 or more and get 10% OFF (automatically applies to qualifying books, dvds, vhs at checkout) ¸. , . .•´•`•..•´•`•.¸. , . .•´•`•..•´•`•.¸. , . .•´•`•.. ><((((º> Flies - Gear - Supplies - Stories - AND everything else

We're famous! —BIG SKY JOURNAL— The Big Sky Journal is a beautiful periodical offering great reading and every February the issue is devoted entirely to fly fishing. Last fall the Big Sky Journal called and asked if they could feature the Book Mailer in their fly fishing issue. We were delighted and honored. This 2007 Edition showcases the writings of Jennifer Olsson, Dave Ames, Seth Norman, Ted Leeson, Jerry Kustich, Greg Thomas, John Holt (and, of course, The Book Mailer article). Sorry, the 2007 is no longer available. BIG SKY JOURNAL: FLY-FISHING 2008

*** Gary's Induction into "The Hall of Fame" ***

On October 23rd, 2004, the Catskill Fly Fishing Center and Museum held its Sixth Annual Fly Fishing Hall of Fame Induction and Dinner. A good friend of Gary's, Ken Parkany, was privileged and honored to accept the Hall of Fame Induction Award for Gary. Ken thoughtfully sent us some photos he took of the "The Hall of Fame" Induction Brochure. The Hall of Fame was established to recognize those fly fishers who during their lives have made a major positive impact on fly fishing. The overall process for inclusion includes a widespread recognition of continued efforts, a unique contribution that has affected the betterment of fly fishing, and a lasting effect it has made on the fly fishing community by the candidate.
