Another Huge Thank You Goes Out to all of our visiting anglers and most importantly our local anglers who really got out there and fished their hearts out this season. I was truly impressed with the amount of feed back, reports, and over all support all of our customers helped out with this year. We saw all of our old friends and made a bunch of new ones at the same time
Sales! Sales! Sales! This is the time of year where we get to mark down a few items that are slated to be discontinued. Some of these deals might be better than waiting to see the latest and greatest for next year. We have bags, vests, shirts, wading boots, and even some waders that are marked down from 25%-50% off. If you’re looking for an inexpensive reel, there are a few left and priced to move, especially if you are looking for a nice salt water reel. If a salt water rod is in your future the Sage has just announced the Xi2’s are on the chopping block. They are all down almost $200 and I really only have a few left. I also have a couple of the Sage Launches left too: 1 376, 2 590’s, and one 690-4, these are great entry level rods with lifetime warranties.
Starting on September 1st we have decided to make a slight adjustment on the way we deal with returning a rod to the manufacturer for warranty repair. The consumer can go to our website and link directly to the manufacturer where you can download a repair form and ship the item on your own. You can pay by credit card, check or money order included with your repair. If you would like us to take care of this service, we will complete the repair form, pack, ship, insure, and track your package all the way back to the shop and call you when it arrives for a total cost of $75 plus tax. The shipping costs for us have gone up so much that with out this in-shop increase we simply can’t afford this service for our customers. The benefit to you having us ship your item is that we have the shipping tubes, packing material, a UPS pick up and daily drop off, and a commercial addresses where the package has to be signed for. We want to be able to assist you in every way, and we hope this isn’t really anything but extending our service to you in a way that covers our costs in the shipping and handling category, thank you for your understanding.

New Mexico Department of Game and Fish has stocked some Rio Grande Cutthroats into the Pecos River above the village of Pecos and into the Rio Grande Gorge. It'll be a cool thing to catch a Rio Grande Cutthroat, our state fish, in a place where they were once the only trout species. Take the kids fishing and your entry with their very first Cutthroat on a fly, in one of these beautiful places, could win them their very own fly rod! Remember that there is a reduced bag limit on cutthroat trout and really all cutthroat trout should be released immediately after being caught to protect our resource.
