Happy Halloween!

The shop cats wouldn't pose for a Halloween photo so this will have to do.

Today is our last official day open for the season – at least for the shop – our webstore never sleeps! Thanks to everyone for a great year – can’t wait for next spring! We will be in the office Monday – Friday, from 10AM – 3PM daily if you do need us for anything.I will still be periodically updating the blog, so keep checking your RSS feeds and the like! We will be at the Fly Fishing Show in New Jersey again this January, so be sure to see us there.

The fishing is definitely not over, however – we actually had some half-frozen pseudos sitting on the screens this morning. The influx of cold water from the melt-off will without a doubt affect the fishing for the next day or two, but the warmer weather in the forecast should heat up the water a bit, and the bugs will hopefully be back for one last big hurrah! Have a great week!
