Dette Flies

This is so cool! Our upstairs neighbor at the shop brought us this Daily News clipping from 1953 the other day...recognize any of those names? What a time to be a fishing columnist!

Wintertime Willowemoc. Be mindful when fishing in the colder months of water and temperature conditions as well as staying in the catch and release sections open for fishing. #detteflies #catskillsconservation #livingstonmanor #uponwillowemoccreek #catskills #upstateny #flyfishing #wintertime #staysafe #catchandrelease

We got another shipment from Colorado... and this time it came with @abelreels AND more models of @rossreels !! Look at these stunning, hand crafted reels made in the USA. Proud to have Abel in the shop. The Abel Vaya comes in two colors and a range of weights, as do the new Ross Evolution and Animas reels. We’re gonna find a nice cozy spot for these in the reel case, so swing by and check em out or view them on the website!

When the fishing is slow, the reading gets good. We have some amazing books to choose from in our little library, including Favorite Flies of the Catskills by friend of the shop and well known author Mike Valla. It even features some flies by @mkonecni, @the_quilted_tyer, @matt_grobert and other dear friends! Swing by for some literature this week. Open 9-4 every day.

Mike modeling some @repyourwater schwag! Warm, stylish, and trout themed. What more could you ask for? Swing by today!
