2026 SPRING KICKOFF
March 27th & 28th | Chattanooga, TN
Warm weather and great fishing are just ahead friends! It's time to celebrate the coming adventures with our 7-year anniversary Spring Kickoff Sales Event and Fly Fishing Film Tour. Thank you all so much for your support over the last 7 years. We couldn't have done it without you! - Seth

The Gist:
It all starts on Friday Night (March 27th) where we host the 2026 Fly Fishing Film Tour at White Duck Taco (1519 McCallie Ave) at 6pm. The pre-party to the party, if you will. Doors open and beers crackin' at 5pm. This year, we're stoked to show everyone a film made locally by Made Film Co. from the 2025 Cicada hatch that's included in this year's F3T called, "The Last Hatch: Brood XIV"
On Saturday, we rope off the parking lot (parking details below), bring in local and national fly fishing brands and vendors, tap a few kegs, eat some good food, cast some fly rods, enjoy some live music, raffle off some incredible prizes, gather with like-minded anglers and have a good old-fashioned throw down. Like a big time fly fishing expo, but completely free and family friendly. Saturday, March 28th from 10-4pm (3227 Brainerd Rd.)
