Christmas may be over, but we still have Beau Beasley's Virginia Fly Fishing Festival to look forward to in January. Less than a month away, and bigger and better than ever.
Beau has been a great supporter of introducing young people to fly fishing. The Boy Scout Fly Fishing Merit Badge program will again be offered this year to Boy Scouts on both Saturday and Sunday. There is no charge for scouts in uniform and their guardian.
If you know of a Boy Scout troop or Boy Scout who might be interested, please pass along this link.
Fish On! And see you all in January in Doswell.

Featured Vendor: Simms
Winter fishing can be fun and exciting or absolutely miserable--and everyone who fishes in winter knows that miserable is being cold and wet. No one in the industry knows more about keep anglers warm and dry than Simms.
Bozeman-based Simms has been making quality products since its inception in 1980 when avid angler John Simms thought he could build better products for anglers than were currently on the market. By 2012 the company's growth required a 60,000 square foot facility to keep up with production demands.
Quality gear like the Simms G3 Guide Jacket, G3 Guide Waders, gear bags, wading shoes, and clothing have made Simms a household name.
Speak to Simms' Mid-Atlantic rep Justin Sterner at the festival; he'll have the latest products on hand for you to see and try on. Then walk across the festival aisle to one of our participating Simms dealers and purchase your gear right at the event. Stay warm and dry while fishing this winter!
