!!!!!!!!!!Customer Appreciation Weekend!!!!!!!!!!

It is hard to believe that it has been 10 years since A Marblehead Flyfisher Inc. opened its doors. That's correct, opened for business in April of 2004, this spring will mark our 10th year serving our local and not so local fly fishing community. This land mark anniversary could never have been possible without the support of our loyal customers. As a way to say "Thank You" for 10 years of support we are planning the Marblehead Flyfisher      
10th Anniversary Customer Appreciation Weekend
 

The fun will start on Wednesday April 23rd. We thought what is a great way to give back to all of the people that have supported us? Well Mrs. Marblehead Flyfisher came up with the idea of "Movie Night". Not your average ho-hum "lets get together and watch a cut rate movie on a little screen while crammed into a small space" movie night, no no no! A joint effort between the law offices of MacElree Harvey and A Marblehead Flyfisher Inc. we have rented Theater N in down town Wilmington. This 221 seat, full blown auditorium is the last movie theater in the city of Wilmington. 

Doors will open at 6:30 and the movie will begin promptly at 7:00. Complimentary all you can eat popcorn and movie candy will be provided and if you choose to indulge a cash bar will be available.  For your viewing pleasure we will be presenting the critically acclaimed motion picture "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen" Here is the bio of the movie...

From the director of Chocolat and the Oscar-winning® screenwriter of Slumdog Millionaire comes the inspirational comedy Salmon Fishing in the Yemen. When Britain's leading fisheries expert (Ewan McGregor) is approached by a consultant (Emily Blunt) to help realize a sheikh's (Amr Waked) vision of bringing the sport of fly-fishing to the desert


Check out the trailer! 

 Please stop by the shop for more information and to get your invitation to the show. This should be a fun night for all and we look forward to seeing many, many of our loyal customers at the theater. We will be doing some fun, interactive things with the movie, so pay close attention. There may be a trivia question or two at the end. 

Customer Appreciation    "Spring Fever Open house" 

The fun doesn't stop when the credits roll. A few days after the movie The shop will host our third annual "Spring Fever Open House" Focusing again on customer appreciation we have several things planned we think you will like. First off we will have several items up for raffle.

Check out these flies! 

If big articulated "meat" flies are your thing than we have a treat for you. Shop manager and G Loomis Pro staff member Tim O'Neill will be at the vise turning out some of his favorite patterns. This is a great time to see up-close and personal what goes into making these jointed works of art. Two sessions will take place from 11:00 to 12:00 and from 2:00 till 3:00. Who knows, after this you may be throwing a single or double jointed flies on your next trip! 

Check out this Cast! 

That was a 100 + foot cast! Shop owner Terry Peach will host two separate Casting Demonstrations with mini Clinics for your enjoyment. It is truly a pleasure to watch an accomplished caster and Terry is very accomplished! These one hour Demos will give you a chance to ask questions and have your cast diagnosed by Terry.  It is not often you will have an opportunity to get the type of intimate casting instruction as you will get here, we hope you will take advantage of this. The first demonstration will take place from 12:30 till 1:30 and the second from 3:30 till 4:30. 

Check out this Art! 

Bart Gelesh is an award winning local artist that specializes in fish and underwater paintings. If you attended our spring open house last year you saw first hand the type of work Bart can do. He will have original paintings as well as prints for sale. If you have that bare wall that is just begging for a painting stop by on Saturday and pick something up, you will be glad you did. To see more of Bart's work check out his website here. 

Check out these books! 

Local author Sean O'Donnell will be on hand with copies of both of his books. As an active member of the White Clay Fly Fishers Sean is well versed on our local river and the fly patterns that are most successful. His first book; "Fly Fishing Delmarva" "Flies for the White Clay Creek and surrounding waters" is an in-depth look at the "Clay" and tried and true patterns for fishing this fabled creek. His second book "Let's Cast" is a beginners look at fly casting, the do's and don'ts. 

 Sean will be autographing copies all day. Stop by and meet the author and pick up a copy of each. 

As always, Mary Ann will put out a spread of great appetizers, sandwiches and deserts and we will have plenty of free raffles and door prizes.


That is a lot of stuff packed into a short period of time, but we don't mind the work. After all this weekend is for all of you, our customers. Without you there would not be a 10th anniversary celebration.

From all of us here at A Marblehead Flyfisher 
Thank you! 
Here's hoping for 10 more!
