Montana Fly Company

Montana Fly Company Focus Group

June 18, 2011 By Tom Sadler

Last month I was asked to participate in a focus group for Montana Fly Company. The focus group was organized by those clever Outside Media folks who ran it on Facebook. It was a very entertaining way for those of us in the group to look at pictures, answer questions and make comments. Our moderator, Sammi, did a great job of keeping us on task while offering some very amusing commentary.

The chance to look behind the curtain a bit at some future offerings from Montana Fly Company and have some fun with Sammi was a treat in and of itself, but the deal got a whole lot better when MFC sent us some really nice tools as a reward for our participation. The gift box that arrived at The Middle River Group world HQ included a set of gold end nippers and a zinger (already attached to my Fly Vines lanyard); a stonefly/nymph box and a large waterproof fly box.

 

Some great swag from Montana Fly Company

While I can’t tell you what we worked on, you just might want to keep an eye on MFC to see what the fruits of our labors produced.

Things that Work: Fly Tying Tools from Montana Fly Co.

May 3, 2011 By Tom Sadler

OK, so I am not much of a fly tyer. But I chipped in a comment on OBN and wound up winning some sweet tying tools from Montana Fly Company.

They sent me three spools of premium thread, a River Camo Hair Stacker, and a River Camo ceramic Bobbin. They also sent me some Scissor Forceps and a fly box that immediately got put into service.

They are so important I carry a spare pair when I fish. Nothing could replace them. Or so I thought….

Fly tying prompt

January 17, 2011 By Tom Sadler

The Outdoor Bloggers Network ran a contest last week with folks from Montana Fly Company for a shot at some very cool fly tying tools. I needed a push to do some fly tying so with OBN’s encouragement I tossed a couple a comments in to the mix.

Drum roll

Yup, the ole random number generator did me a solid and it was winner winner chicken dinner!

So when I get the goods I will post some pix, tie up a few shop-vacs sadler style and give a review of the tools. Might even try my hand at some tenkara flies. Can you say sakasa kebari?

stay tuned…
