Top 10 Fly Fishing Desinations of the World ~ Presentation

Thursday, November 19th at 7:00 PM

Been dreaming about your next fly fishing adventure?  Come out for a night of fishing around the world at The River’s Edge Fly Shop in Bozeman.  Jim Klug and Ian Davis – owners of Yellow Dog Fly fishing Adventures – have both fished extensively throughout the globe.  They will be at the River’s Edge on Thursday night to present a slideshow on some of the top fly fishing destinations around the world.  Ian will also be available for questions as he ties up some saltwater flies throughout the night.  Whether to entice your fly fishing palette, see some amazing photography, or just to learn more about great places to fish – you won’t want to miss out on this fun evening. 

*This event is free and open to the public. 

The River’s Edge is located at 2012 North 7^th Ave, Bozeman, Montana.  Phone 406.586.5373 for further information.

 I remember when I started working at River’s Edge last summer and noticing the shop carried these things called “Buffs”.   I also remember scoffing at them and thinking you’d have to be a serious dork to wear one of those. 

Bozeman’s only Clacka Craft Drift Boat Pro Shop

Good news for the Clacka Craft drift boat enthusiasts of Bozeman, The River’s Edge just became Bozeman’s only Clacka Craft pro shop. This allows us to sell new Clacka Craft drift boats and answer any questions about the boats that you may have.  

Womens Night A Success

Last Thursday night, the shop held its first ever women’s only event.  We had been planning this event for over a month and had done a bit of great marketing to help spread the word (the full-page article about the event in last Thursday’s Bozeman Chronicle probably didn’t hurt either).  As the night approached, none of us really knew what to expect for turnout.   All we knew was that we had received a lot of positive response thus far.   As you can see from the photo of the parking lot and the crowd, turnout was sweet!

As I sit here trying to come up with an accurate prediction about how the fishing and water conditions over the next couple of months will play out in our part of Southwest Montana, I know how the weatherman feels.  No matter what I write, I am going to be wrong on some part of my predictions.  Well it won’t be the last time, here goes.

Simms Headwaters Waist Pack Review

Simms Headwaters Waist Pack

Simms’ new Headwaters Waist Pack is a versatile pack that could be used in many different angling pursuits. We see this pack being used everywhere from our homewaters of the trout streams of Southwest Montana to the flats of Mexico’s Ascension Bay.

Streamtread Sole Update

As the weather has been changing here in Southwest Montana and we seem to finally see the light to better weather ahead, many of the users of the Simms Streamtread Soled boots have been out and had a good chance to use them. The reviews have been outstanding so far from the many customers to whom we have sold them. In addition, I myself have had a better chance to get out and use them on our local rivers like the Madison and Yellowstone.

Two things I have determined since my last review.

Simms Streamtread Video Review on You Tube

We recently completed a video review of the Simms Streamtread Soles which is now up on You Tube and can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9b07P7PYCc.  Check it out and let us know what you think.  There will be more to come.  For this review, we teamed up with Jon Yousko of Simms Fishing Products to explain and show the features of the Streamtread Boots.
