As the COVID-19 pandemic hit this past Spring, many organizations took their communications with members online, utilizing video conferencing tools like Zoom, Webex and Google Meets. Fly Fishers International jumped in with both feet, initiating a popular series called FFI Online. The purpose was to keep all fly fishers connected to the sport they love – as well as the FFI experience. Topics of virtual content included casting, fly tying, fly fishing skills, conservation, FFI Women Connect, global fly fishing travel and more.
For Season 2, FFI Online has added “Legends of Fly Tying” series featuring some of the foremost tiers whose contributions to the art are widely recognized. Featured tiers will include Dave Whitlock, Gary Borger, Al and Gretchen Beatty, Scott Sanchez, Peggy Brenner, Mike George, and Jim Ferguson.
In addition, new episodes will include presentations on how to become an FFI Certified Casting Instructor, Conservation Conversations, more of Jeff Currier’s “Global Fish Quest”, and more.
Episodes will be broadcasted live on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings at 7:00pm CST. Season 2 kicks off on Wednesday, November 4th and continues to March 2021. For a listing of episodes, with links to join each webcast, CLICK ON THIS LINK.
