East Portal- GOOD- We have been having a fair amount of success down in the portal lately. Seeing sparse hatches of Midges. There are still a few fish spawning so be sure to watch out for the fish on reds. The portal will be closing any day now with the up coming weather so be sure to check back to make sure that you don't make a trip up there to find out that the gate have been closed for the winter.

Daiichi Hooks
We tie a bunch of flies each year here at the shop and we have found that Daiichi hooks are far and away the best hooks on the market. I know that is a bold statement but they have truly proved themselves. What I mean by that is they are consistent, sharp and hold up to the abuse that we as fisherman put our flies through. If you haven't had the chance to try these hooks out you should do so you won't be sorry.
