Conditions : South Fork: It's winter, reports will resume in spring. However Jimmy's will be hosting fly-tying demos, beginning in January..

We suspended these for three years because of the Covid virus. The good news is that the outbreak has peaked. Here is more good news: the demos will resume beginning on Saturday, January 7th, 2023 and run through Saturdays to March 4th. Each begins at 9 AM and continues to around Noon. The featured demonstrating tier will present patterns proven to be effective on area waters and will answer questions on how, where and when usage, and offer tying information. Demonstrating tier bios will be published on the shop web site, www. jimmysflyshop.com, days before each demo is offered. A roster of demonstrating tiers is being developed.

Attendees wish to focus on demonstrating tier actions, but spontaneous conversations develop between some attendees. We ask that if these conversations become extensive, those involved move outside the demo area. We suggest bringing notebooks to capture information provided by a demonstrating tier. Masks are optional.
