As I mentioned, G.Loomis sued us again.
Yesterday Gary and I made the journey to the Federal Courthouse in Tacoma. As with most Federal Courthouses, the Tacoma building is a beautiful place. It is the remodeled Union Train Station. It’s full of Dale Chihuly glass. He’s a famous guy with an eye patch. The patch is [...]

We apologize, but it’s going to be difficult for us to update this blog as often as we would like. We like to use this blog to tell you about what we are working on and what has been happening at NFC.
Right now, what we are working on is responding to another lawsuit from G.Loomis. [...]

We love to blow things up and tip a couple of beers as much as the next guy. But before we try to lose a finger or two, we thought we’d take a minute to recognize those who started our country a couple hundred years ago.

Today is the anniversary of our succession, for on July [...]

Introducing our newest addition to the team, Kristin. Kristin just polished off her Junior year and is working towards a degree in Mechanic Engineering. She has a special interest in composites.
She has already proved her worth in the office, but we decided to see if she could bring her skills to our local creek.

How about [...]

So you can see by the look on my face that I’m not so sure about this boat.
But apparently you can catch some nice fish out of it.  Our Pro Bass Angler Ed Chin puts us on the board with a nice smallie caught on a crankbait.
Our distinguished guest got in on the action as [...]

Our guest is a fly guy, and we couldn’t send him out alone. So I moved my office outside for the day.

Takeshi turns out to be a pretty good stick.  He caught a lot of these little guys.

Turns out, in Japan, most of what they catch are 10 inchers, so he was pretty happy to [...]

Sorry to have been so out of touch on the blog. There have been a number of things happening.
Recently, we had a guest come to our little operation in Woodland, Washington. Takeshi Horiguchi took a 12 hour flight from Nagano, Japan to see us. We’ll post some photos of the fishing [...]

North Fork would like you to remember that Memorial Day is about thanking all those who have put their lives on the line, and who have lost their lives, to protect America’s freedom.  So while you are enjoying your day off, we hope that you are giving thanks to all those that have served our [...]

Here is Jesse Sampson of Small Stream Outfitters with our new St 1002-2(IM). You can see the bend up to the handle. Notice he doesn’t grab above the cork.
We made it for steelhead, but Jesse is an overachiever.
KING ME!

Jesse Zalonis has been staining the handles of our St 960, 961 and 962s red. Looks like he’s been pretty successful.

So I saw this at a stop light the other day.

He must not have been able to find a Geo or a Sprint, which are at least labeled American cars (but built in Japan, Hungary, China, India, Indonesia or Malaysia).

Just thought we’d point out Raymond’s work here.

Wow, what an incredible show. Gary’s talk was standing room only and at one point, Gary was surrounded three deep in front of our booth with folks hanging on his every word. We were overwhelmed by the support.
I asked Gary his thoughts about the show and what he wanted to share with you all and [...]

It’s not a holiday, so many folks don’t remember, but today is the anniversary of the “date which will live in infamy.”
