Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers! Learn more at http://www.tu.org/science/aquatic-invasive-species-ais

License-free fishing, archery and air rifle shooting are among activities scheduled Saturday, Sept. 25, at Fenton Lake State Park as the Department of Game and Fish and New Mexico State Parks celebrate National Hunting and Fishing Day with a day of family fun. National Hunting and Fishing Day also is a free fishing day in New Mexico, a special day when all anglers -- residents and nonresidents of all ages -- can fish without a license at public waters statewide. All other fishing rules apply. Sept. 25 activities at Fenton Lake will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will include free archery and air rifle shooting, fishing instruction, fly tying, aquatics education and more. Participants will be eligible for drawings for outdoor sports prizes. The state park charges a $5 per vehicle day-use fee. Walk-in entry is free. Fenton Lake State Park is 33 miles northwest of San Ysidro via N.M. 4 and N.M. 126 in the Jemez Mountains of northern New Mexico.

It's official!! Sage has announced a discontinuation of two of their rod lines. That means we can now offer them to you on sale at 30% off! Check out Jarrett's List on our homepage to see what's on hand and the prices!

We are overstocked on Korkers Swift Sandals and Korkers Torrent Shoes! Both of these are designed for walking around AND wet wading. If you've been in the shop before you'll know that Ed wears his Torrents every day. So to help our overstock problem, we are offering a free fishing sole with the purchase of a Sift Sandal or Torrent Shoe. They feature the OmniTrax interchangeable sole system that allows you to have a hiking sole, a felt sole for fishing, or Korkers own Kling-On rubber fishing sole. See how these soles work at www.korkers.com.
