January 2026 Update

To my loyal & valued customers,

Happy New Year to all. As the clock continues to tick toward spring, I’m reminded about how fast it arrives on our doorstop. Check your wading boots for tears, comfort and sizing. Check out the lineup of Korkers at the shop. Inspect your waders for leaks. Is a new pair in your immediate future? Has your reel seen better days? How old is that flyline on the reel? The shop is full of new affordable gear to upgrade with and not break the bank!

Floatants, tools, sunglass upgrade? The Evening Sun Fly Shop has it all. Stop in, browse and purchase the items you need at reduced prices.

Pat Perkins — In addition to building a superb bamboo rod is now doing restorations on all types of bamboo rods. If you have a bamboo rod and it is in need of repair, please contact the shop for details.

The shop will be closed New Years Day – Thursday, January 1st – and will reopen Friday, January 2nd at normal hours.

Regards & See you on the water,

Charlie Shadan

So You Think You Know Everything?

The ESFS will be running every month interesting factoids…

January’s Moon is called the Wolf Moon. The Saxon word for the month was Wulf-monath or “wolf month.”

This year, the Full Moon reaches peak illumination on Saturday, January 3, at 5:03 A.M. EST. It can be seen rising from the horizon around sunset that evening.
