GOOD TIMES IN DENVER

Todd and Brian attended the International Fly Tackle Retailer Show in Denver, Colorado, September 10, 11 and 12. This three day event is where all the fly fishing manufacturers, fly shops, international distributors, fly fishing media and fly fishing travel specialists meet and do business. The support we received was overwhelming.

We started the FFR Show off the night before at a fun event with our friends at Trout's Fly Shop in Denver. New Belgium Brewing provided the tasty beer and we socialized with friends of Catch Magazine.

The FTR Show gave Catch Magazine an opportunity to see and thanks our advertisers. Everyone is there - Winston, Scientific Anglers, Simms, Patagonia, William and Joseph, Avalon, Nautilus and more. 40% of the people who stopped by the Catch Magazine booth really liked Catch Magazine, the other 60% loved Catch Magazine!!

The highlight of the FTR Show was Todd winning the award for BEST CINEMATOGRAPHER at the Drake Film Festival. This annual event follows the Scientific Angler Party (more New Belgium beer!!) in a large room where hundreds of fly fishing industry folk view the latest in fly fishing videos. Todd entered ALPINE BASS from Issue 6 and the crowd went wild.

Congratulations Todd Moen.

WINNER!!! Of the Vaughn Cochran tarpon print


We would like to congratulate Curtis Stowe (that guy in the river) for winning our July/August Subscription Contest. He wins the coveted Vaughn Cochran tarpon print. Curtis told us the following about himself - "I grew up fishing in in upstate South Carolina and developed a love for fishing at a early age. My earliest memories of fishing are with my dad for bluegills on the lake near our house. Growing up I fished for bass, catfish, and perch with my dad, granddad and good friends in our local lakes and rivers and gradually progressed to trout fishing. Then I started to get interested in fly fishing and began picking it up. After college I moved to California and began to explore the Sierras and all the trout fishing opportunities there. Most recently, I've moved to Nebraska and am now exploring Colorado and the Midwest for fishing opportunities. I'm also scheduled to go fishing in Slovenia in a month or so...." Curtis, send us a photo from Slovenia. We have hundreds of subscribers from there.
