Building on the success of fly fishing’s Stimmie Awards, Fly Fusion Magazine has introduced a new awards program aimed at the international fly-tying community.

The all-new Stimmies On the Fly awards program will recognize top emerging fly tiers, amateur and professionals alike. We want to see the best of the best in fly tying on video. Top submissions should feature an innovative pattern, technique and/or material presented in a creative video format with a mind towards educating the viewer.

The top 10 fly-tying videos will be selected by an internal committee and then be open to voting from the angling and fly tying community. The creator of the winning fly tying video will take home “bragging rights,” $1,000 and a feature story in Fly Fusion Magazine.

So, hop on over to flyfilmfest.com/stimmies to enter.  Entries will be accepted until October 14.  Good Luck!

In case you have not yet had the pleasure, the Faceless Fly Fishing & Upland Podcast is a must-listen! Darcy Toner and Timbre Pringle, discuss all things Fly Fishing, Dogs and Upland Hunting with their weekly guest. They have been taking photos and fly fishing together for well over a decade and run Faceless Fly Fishing Media, home for their outdoor photography. Their enthusiasm for fishing is matched by their commitment to protecting the outdoors.

This week, they have interviewed our Founding Editor, Derek Bird. Derek shares some of his favorite patterns, techniques, and tips – like how to see the fly better and get a better chance at hooking up when you can barely see that teeny tiny fly. There’s also some good banter while discussing the premise of his new fly fishing novel.
