FT Upcoming - The Week of Monday November 9, 2026
Nov 09, 2026
As the season switches to cooler weather and we move from weekly to monthly fishing reports we are going to try and provide more regular updates on what's happening in store.
We have a great lineup of fly tying events - in-store and off-site - that we will highlight in this and future blogs. We'll also let you know about any upcoming after hours information events. Additionally we will use this space to let you know about new sale items, incoming inventory alerts, and whatever else we think might be of interest. This is a work-in-progress and feedback is welcome.
Here's a look at highlights for the week to come.
Monday Night Tying Workshops
Monday, November 9, 2026 - Stillwater Staples with Hai
Join Hai for this night focused on tying techniques for scuds, leeches, and blobs. These are stillwater staples food sources for stillwater trout and can be used effectively year round.
Sessions are hosted at Fish Tales Fly Shop, and run from 7pm to 9/9:30pm.
Registration is required - Register Here.
Our next Monday night workshop is on November 23 when Joel will be featuring two saltwater patterns. Join Joel and other tiers who are venturing somewhere warm this season as they tie a mutineer crab and a mantis shrimp.
Inventory updates:
SALE ALERT: - Check out our sales pages for new deals on select SIMMS boots and waders. We've got lots of other product on sale right now too....
NEW PRODUCT ALERT: Late summer and early fall is when we commit to our suppliers for the following season. We've finished most of our booking orders and are expecting to see new product from several suppliers in the next few weeks.
We are particularly excited about a new rod series from Echo Fly Fishing. The Solo X is an excellent introductory price point rod (or rod/reel package) for anglers new to the sport or wanting a backup. We've had a chance to cast these and were impressed. We are expecting our first shipment this week!
You may have noticed some deals on Fishpond product over the past while. This is because they're updating much of their lineup - that order is also on the way.
We're also excited to reintroduce a broader offering from C&F Design products - coming soon!
And.... if you're starting to think about Christmas you can check out our limited supply of Advent calendars with your choice of flies for the Bow River, Eastern Slopes, or Locally tied patterns.
