To my loyal & valued customers,
What a trip to the Bighorn River in Montana! Lots of BIG FISH that had no intention of joining with my net. Powerful and Beautiful correctly describe these fish. Go if you can, you won’t be disappointed. A trip you can do very reasonably. All six of the trip attendees were blown away at the size, beauty and power of those fish. All would go back in a heartbeat. I’ve been there now 13 times – no going back for me! On to new water.
Huge Redington wader sale from now until the end of the year. All sizes, models, styles are 20% off. If you pay in cash, then they are 22% off. I have been wearing them for more than 10 years and they have been bullet-proof! Don’t let this sale sneak by you. Lots of sizes, styles in stock – Get ’em while you can. Wet underwear, cold feet and uncomfortable days on the river can be a thing of the past. Along with your Korkers boots — you will be styling!
Keep an eye on the store website as I will post in late September when the state stocks the local rivers. In the meantime, pray for rain so the state DFW will have no excuse and have to stock our rivers. Cool temps, low humidity and bright blue days are harbingers of what’s to come. Fall is a magical time to fish as the fish get hungry before winter sets in.
Need a new rod, reel, wading boots, fly line etc. Think of the shop as your first choice to get your new gear and take advantage of the best REWARDS PROGRAM IN THE INDUSTRY — this program is really for you — utilize it and reap the benefits. You can literally earn 22%+ for your spend at the shop. Nowhere does this exist! Your credit cards only give you at best 2% – that 20% LESS.
Pat Perkins — In addition to building a superb bamboo rod is now doing restorations on all types of bamboo rods. If you have a bamboo road and it is in need of repair, please contact the shop for details.
Thank you & See you on the water,
Charlie Shadan
