September 2025 Update

To my loyal & valued customers,

Please visit my website ESFS to see the separate page I’ve created for the Fly University Show that I am sponsoring on March 21, 2026 at the Courtyard Marriott – Nashua, NH. This is the first of its kind educational show dedicated to helping the angler improve their skills and overall knowledge of fly-fishing topics. Stop in the shop for your personal brochure and save the date!!

Cold water is hard to find these days from local rivers and streams around the shop. Outside temps still remain high and not friendly to the trout. Even Vermont and New Hampshire are experiencing low, low, waters and high stream temps.

Now is the time to grab some poppers and bass flies from the shop and have some fun on local stillwaters and the Nashua River catching warmwater species. This can be a HOOT!

The Swift, Deerfield and Farmington Rivers still remain your best trout options until temps fall, rain happens and fall stockings commence. We all know that these will happen. September and October will be here before we know it. In the meantime, fish opportunities are still available, pick your preference.

Stop in the shop and see the line-up of: New Korkers boots, Redington waders, Hardy, Lamson, Redington and Ross reels and a solid display of over 20,000 flies. There’s something here for every fly angler.

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.

Regards & See you on the water,

Charlie Shadan

If you have excess fly-tying materials — hooks, feather, beads, please bring them into the shop. We are going to begin a monthly donation to Project Healing Waters Fly Tying program. Myself and Jon Sweatman will coordinate getting these materials to the program each month.

Thank you for your kindness to these veterans.
