An update/reminder for South Fork-Snake River fly-fishing fans and anyone interested in area fly-fishing.  Boots Allen will be in the shop, Saturday, June 12 beginning 10 AM to sign copies of his recently released book “Snake River Fly Fishing: Through the Eyes of an Angler”.  Boots will also tie examples of flies featured in the book, give presentation thoughts for them, answer questions on the content of his book, and offer angling strategies  for the Snake River.  We have a good stock of these books on hand, but if you cannot be at Boot’s book signing, come in to buy a copy and leave ideas on how you would like him to personalize your book.  Then come in for the book at your convenience.

Looking for a great Father’s Day gift?  This book would work just fine!

I got out and fished the Box Canyon yesterday with my family and some friends. Took my daughter Paisley on her first float down the river.

I flipped over a rock and found a healthy population of stonefly nymphs about ready to hatch.

This is why we fish rubberlegs all the time. Stonefly nymphs are a constant supply of food for the fish in the river. As much as the fish like them, I am almost convinced that Paisley likes them more.

(What the heck is this?)

What do you think: do I have a river bum in the making?…
