Primalfly-Making 2nd Headquarters in Tampa,Florida

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

Its time to get salty bitches! Snyder and Erin are moving to Tampa to continue the mission and expand the Primalfly reach to southern gulf coast waters. Rumor has it Teasdale will also be tainting the waters around the gulf coast with a slew of new gear to promote a mission of his own.

We will be investing in all new saltwater shit and also looking forward to stompin some Grassie’s, peacocks, tilapia, and largemouth at the nearest golf courses.

So, this move is going to be a bitch like any, most of our shit is packed and we will hit the road on OCT 16th. Part of our journey will have us stopping in Austin, and The Big Easy to ingest some of the local culture and wet a line when the time permits. The paperwork has already been started on our concealed weapons permits and we have been out shoppin for the right gator piece. I was thinking a nice light 380, Teasdale disagreed and said-”Go Bigger”

We would like to take this opportunity to reach out to other salty fly fishing bitches in the Tampa area in hopes to expand our network of sin and debauchery. Shoot us an email and we can start planning a mission of saltwater bliss!

We will miss all the peeps in D Town and all the unrelenting smelly of the Platte River. Not too fear young lads, the Primalfly compound 1 still exists and we will surely be back to continue our plight. Butters and Gracie will be holding down the fort while we bask in the warm winter Florida sun admidst turquoise blue waters and miles of gingerly salt flats. Ahhhh….So nice.

In memory of our friend, Sawan Nail

Sawan Nail 1969-2009

in-memory-of-sawan-nail

The Denver fly-fishing community suffered a great loss this week with the passing of Sawan Nail (weblink).
A great friend and regular guide of Discount Fishing, he was taken from us rather suddenly on Monday Night.
Sawan was a great fisherman and a great guide. He did extensive work with Casting for Recovery(link). He is survived by his wife Noel, his many friends, and the countless people whose lives he touched along the way. He will be missed by many and his perpetual smiling face is something that I personally will miss greatly.

The Primal Fly family and friends are auctioning off a TFO Bob Clouser rod in a 8′9″ 8wt with a Retail value is $199, and we will marry this rod with a 3.5 Lamson Guru ($219). If you are looking for a new carp stick and would like to help support a great guides widow, here’s your chance. Please bid generously as all proceeds will go directly to Noel. Leave your bids in the comment section of this thread, and the auction will end in 7 days of this posting( Please be sure to include your email address). You will mail a check directly to Noel Nail, and I will ship the rod out to you. Thanks for your support in this matter.

Please feel free to visit www.sawannail.com to make donations and express your condolences. I’m gonna miss you buddy, but I know you are up there banging 30 inch browns in the most money river you’ve ever seen. Tight Lines my man. See ya soon.

Our hearts are with you on your next journey,
Tom and the rest of the Primal Fly team

Special thanks to the Folks at Lamson and TFO for their kind support!

Props for the Pops
