Today at Jimmys

Just a few new tying materials to share with you. We just finished putting out every Killer Caddis Glass bead that is available to tie with we have a new huge selection of Glass Beads available in all sizes. We also got some new Palmering Hackle. This material is a synthetic material much like Polar Chenille expect the hackle is only on one side of the material. This is a popular material that has been showcased in a few of our tying demos on Saturday.

South Fork 12-21-09

We have had good reports of fish eating midges on the surface on the warmer days. Today and tomorrow will be nice enough to go fishing but the weather is reporting some cooler temperatures by the end of the week. During this time of year the weather is a huge indicator on how the fishing will be. Don’t wait for a good fishing report on our website to go fishing, instead listen for a good weather report. If you wait for us to report good fishing in the winter you chance might be gone. Reports of Rubberlegs and small beadhead nymphs have been successful this last week with the warm weather. Come talk to us and we will direct you to some good holes if you plan on going out.

Today at Jimmy’s 12-11-09

We have been busy during this winter gearing up for the Christmas season we have a few new items in the shop that we wanted to share with you. We have got some great new Simms gear for the winter season just in time for the Holidays. The Simms DL Winstopper Fleece has been redesigned and is now called the SImms Guide Winstopper Jacket. The biggest improvements to this jacket is a hood, and some new styling. Simms has incorporated softshell fabric and fleece to design this jacket. The Windstopper membrane in the jacket allow you to stay warm in all weather conditions.

We have also received some new tying materials. We have some new colors of foam for all those creative foam flies. We got in some Lady Amherst Center Tails used for tying Steelhead flies, and some new Whiting Hackle. Swing by the shop today, or send in your significant others and we will be more than happy to point them in the right direction for some Holiday gift ideas.

Closes to fishing above Riverside after Monday, November 30th. Most of the lower river remains open year round, so we will post occaisional reports on how it is fishing.

South Fork 11-27-09

The South Fork remains open to year round fishing, so we will have occasional reports on how it is fishing.  Right now flows out of Palisades Dam have been stable for weeks at 1800 cfs.  Rely on streamers, small nymphs, rubber legs patterns and dry/emerger midge patterns for best chances of success.  When we hear of actions that impact South Fork fishing, we will pass them on here.

Henry’s Fork 11-23-09

Midges, Beatis, and Streamers are still producing fish in good numbers. The Box Canyon and Riverside boat ramps have been reopened. Find some time to get out and fish your favorite spot on the Henry’s Fork before it closes at the end of the month. Nymphing is producing fish as well. Rubberlegs and Zebra Midges are working well under an indicator. Good reports of large brown trout being caught on the Vernon Bridge stretch.

We are still hearing reports of fish rising on midges.  Nymphing is still producing a good number of fish. Rubberlegs and bead head nymphs are a great setup.  As we continue to get deeper into the winter months don’t wait for a fishing report to go fishing. Find a good day during the week when the weather is going to be above freezing and go fishing. If you wait for a report you might miss the window of good weather and fishing for the next week or two. For any questions please call us and we will be happy to help you find a good spot to cast a fly.
