    Hi everyone,

    Christmas is fast approaching, but it is shaping up to be a bit of strange one. My wife is expecting me to stuff my own stocking this year because she cannot go out to the stores to buy the things as per normal! So that got me thinking that maybe some CFF'ers may essentially also be shopping for themselves this Christmas. On that note....

    Stocking stuffers

    If anyone is looking for some cool AEM stocking stuffers produced for us by other local Manitoba companies (e.g. @Miss Tesla 's PromoTime out of Neepawa), check out the swag section of our new website! We have:

    - T-shirts
    - Neck gaiters (a.k.a. buffs - really slick)
    - MicroFibre cloths
    - Toques (NEW!)

    We offer FREE SHIPPING on all swag items!

    Ultimate pre-fishing tools

    I know a high proportion of CFF members love studying maps, and in that regard our My Lake print maps are pretty much the ultimate pre-fishing tools. Being large format, high-resolution and superbly color-coded, they make identifying likely spots easy. And because these maps are so beautiful, there is a good chance that non-anglers will love them also. The perfect addition to any cottage, office or fishing room!

    One of the big changes that has come with the launch of our new website is that we can now offer My Lake print maps offered in three different mount styles: Dry Mount ($), Plaque Mount ($$) and Float Mount ($$$). A Winnipeg-based company called InstaFrame does all the mounting for us. All three mounts lookg great - more details on the features and benefits of the different styles are available on our website.

    CFF Special!


    From now until December 20th, we would like to offer CFF members 10% off all swag orders, and 15% off all Print Map orders. If you order at least one swag item and a Print Map, you will get a 20% discount on your entire order!

    The fine print: We are still figuring out the new website (and are not really sure how to setup "complex" sales), so we ask that you send either @robm or myself (@craigm ) a PM via CFF after you place your order at regular price. We will issue a partial refund (equal to the discount entitled to) as soon as possible. Also please note that Print Map orders received after Dec 18 may not be ready in time for Christmas.

    Craig that great that you're teaming up with other small local businesses. That's a win-win.

    Thanks. I am a big proponent of shopping local....and with COVID....more than ever small businesses need our support. Or they simply will not survive.

    @robm figured a few things out with the website.

    For those wanting to order swag, please enter the discount code CFFSWAG10 and you should get 10% off your swag at checkout.

    For those wanting to order print maps, please enter the discount code CFFPRINT15 and you should get 15% off your print maps at checkout.

    For those that want to order both swag and print maps, we will do the partial refund root to effectively give you 20% off your entire order.

    Thanks again!

    Placed my order for swag... In the discount code spot I used code #fuckpatty and it automatically paid the invoice in full and charged to @glennie_rapala - what a deal!!!

    All kidding aside, the new site is awesome! looking forward to my new shipment.

    How about a track suit. For safety purposes, in low light conditions.

    Also, the butt portion of the pants could be McHugh lake, with the deeper water representing where the rib farts emanate and linger.

    Also, with a tracksuit, people could say-- "Hey, is that a wicked Fall Smallmouth spine, topping off at 15 feet, starting from the north at those two small twin islands, and reaching way south, surrounded by deep water, or are you happy to see me?"

    In all seriousness, a hoodie with a similar look to the toque would be smashing. Logo on grey. Simple, succulent, sexy. "We survey, while your chick checks us out in our new hoodies, while you fish."

    BTW, the toques are wicked comfy and warm. The wind doesn't rip through them like my other toques

    A hoodie would be awesome, so would Under Armour style long sleeve shirts for those long days fishing in the sun.

    Gonna place my swag order tonight.

    Thanks very much to all the CFF'rs that have ordered so far! Just a heads-up on the swag....

    - MicroFibre cloths are now sold out - a new version in the works, but we do not expect to have them until after Christmas
    - Limited Edition T-Shirts - only a few sizes remain (2XL, 3XL, 4XL)
    - Toques - maybe we should have ordered more from @Miss Tesla ...these are going over really well - thanks for the support everyone!

    Print maps are always printed/mounted to order, so no danger of "selling out" with these...but you only have until December 20th to ensure your favorite lake is available for pickup prior to Christmas!

    Here is another cool offering....The Forks.

    This one is styled a little bit differently from our usual offerings....no contour lines or labels. I did one of these up for test purposes, float mounted....
