Wow, am I glad that the Holiday shopping season is over! It flew by in a blink of an eye and it was very successful, but I’m really ready for a little slower pace for a few months. Typically it is bitterly cold this time of year, however this year has not been the norm. We have had some abnormally warm weather, but also a ton of rain. So, even though the weather has been great for fishing, the rivers have been blown out. I’m not sure which is worse. Having great weather, but not fishing or having terrible weather and not fishing. Okay the first option sucks. If I can’t go fishing I want it to be nasty outside.
So, when it is really nasty and you can’t get out to fish. When work is slow and the honey do’s are done. When you need to escape, but can’t get out of the house. What does the avid fly fisher do? Tie flies and drink a frosty beverage of course. You’ll have to provide your own beverage, but we can help you get addicted to another passion, fly tying.
It gets better, ITS FREE! yes, free fly tying instruction. Find out if you love it or hate it on our dime!
Dates are Jan 21 and 28, Feb 4, 11, 18, and 25 from 11am to 1pm. Call us at the Orvis Sevierville store 865-774-4162 to reserve your space.

I just ran across the TVA iphone app, okay someone else told me about it. Regardless the app works great so far and it’s free to boot. Check it out on the apple iphone store.

I thought this video was really cool. I pulled the article off of Orvis’ Fly Fishing Blog and it seems like the Trout Underground posted a great interview. I’ve read every Gierach book except his new one “No Shortage of Good Days” and I can’t wait to read it this winter.

Okay, the west is cool too. The above video is from a little fishing I did out in Utah around the Altamont area. We stayed at Falcon’s Ledge Resort . There were twelve of us and we all split up and fished different rivers around the area. Which ran the gamut from freestone . . . → Read More: Utah Trip 2011
