2009 was a spectacular year at DFI. We were able to continue expanding our product line, and we also shot two new videos featuring a couple of awesome new dry flies. Our first video of ’09 was filmed in the high country of Idaho where we visited alpine lakes in three mountain ranges. You will have never seen a more breathtaking backdrop for fishing. Then in September we joined forces with Joe Bare, one of our foremost fly tyers and we shot a video on the Southfork of the Snake River. Wow! That’s a very special place!! In between making movies and expanding the business, we also fished in some really cool places. In our “summer wrap up,” we share some of our fishing moments with you. Thanks again for your patronage!
