March 2019 Update

To my loyal & valued customers,

Ski country got plenty of snow and snow lovers were blessed with a bounty of places to ski, board and recreate this winter season.

Now it’s our season ushering itself in! The waters on the Nissitissit and Squannacook rivers are running very clear and at a wonderful level. Many rainbows have held over nicely on both rivers.

I have had at least 2 people say that they caught a holdover brown trout on the Squannacook river at the Bertozzi Section. It obviously won’t be long before we are wetting a line on both rivers to holdovers and stocked pellets!

The Swift River is still about 500 CFS but is producing some nice salmon and rainbows as of this writing.

Check out your gear and ready yourself for a season of promise. Get your flies tied, waders leak proof, reels spinning free and easy and your wading boots examined real soon.

Speaking of wading boots, Korker is running a promotion for March 2019 only:* Purchase a pair of Greenback, Redside, Buckskin or Buckskin Mary boots and receive $20.00 cash back from Korkers.

ESFS has the rebate forms and info for you to take advantage of this offer. Stop in for details and see the line-up of the most comfortable wading boots on the planet.

Thanks to all for your support. See you on the water,

February 2019 Update

To my loyal & valued customers,

As we approach “our season” of bugs, running water, and hope springs eternal, ask yourself what piece(s) of equipment can I change out, repair or improve upon to help make this spring and summer a season of success.

Is a new rod or reel on the horizon? Have your waders shrunk? Don’t blame me ’cause I didn’t sell you the ice cream, chips, and cookies!!

Are your wading boots causing you to slip too much. Maybe the soles are worn or the seams on the outside are compromised.

Is your reel drag a drag? Have you lost a good fish because your reel has seen better days?

All these questions are meant for you to start taking inventory of your gear ’cause before we know it the streams and rivers will be beckoning our presence.

I sent a client to a spot on the Nissitissit River just 1 1/2 weeks ago and he caught 5 nice rainbows and hooked at least 3 more.

The fish are holding over nicely and this spring with all the water we have is shaping up to be a banner year.

My fly shop is well positioned to help you choose the right gear for your needs. Come in a see the line-up of new items from rods, reels, lines, rain jackets and waders.

I have a complete selection of Korkers wading boots to provide you with the most comfortable as well as adaptable wading boot on the market today. Check with your friends who own Korkers and then come see for your own. Lots of new books and fly lines have arrived as well. 

As a reminder, the 2019 Rewards Program is in full swing and all your purchases will lead to some very handsome extra items that no other shop competes with. You can earn upwards of 30% in Rewards!! —- Un-equal in the industry—

January 2019 Update

To my loyal & valued customers,
Happy New Year to everyone and your families.

Seems like we were just “gearing up” for Thanksgiving & Christmas. Wow, it really does seem like the acceleration of time is a reality. Does anyone else feel the same about time?

Hopefully, our winter remains somewhat tame as far as snow is concerned. Wet is ok but snow should be reserved for the high country and its skiers and snowboarders.

I’ve been told that it is just weird of me to ask for flying insects and bugs in the air. Bring those hungry fish and bugs on ASAP. Running water, bugs inhabiting the water, and cooperative fish are signs of “our season”.

Start tying those flies, cleaning your fly lines, checking for wader leaks and going over your spring needs as it will be upon us in no time.

Come into the shop and see a selection of new fly lines, reels, waders, rain jackets and wading boots for an upgrade to your old worn pieces of equipment.

Reports at the shop have been very positive about the Nissitissit and Squannacook rivers producing some nice fish thru December.

January is starting off somewhat mild so steal a day and hook a few fish before the temperature turns too brutal. The 4 rivers in southeastern NH — Lamprey, Cocheco, Isinglass, and Exeter are producing some nice fish.

The Swift River in Belchertown is at record levels but still producing some outsize salmon as well as stellar rainbow trout. The brookies have dropped off some but there are still a few to surprise an angler. 

Catch a moderate Day and ride the wave! “Fish Deep” — “Fish Hard” — “Fish Often” and remember “You don’t need a tee time to fish”

Please take note of all the NEW Dates for all the classes and seminars being offered during the early part of the year. Sign up for one of the classes and sharpen your skills to help your catch rate. Make this the year you devote some time to improving your fly fishing skill set.

See you on the water,

December 2018 Update

To my loyal & valued customers,

I’m going to step out of the “political correctness arena” and wish everyone and your families a Merry Christmas. Sorry if I have offended anyone. I hope everyone has a happy holiday filled with new memories and fun events.

The rivers in our area are still running at somewhat high levels but are fishable. Both the Nissitissit and Squannacook have plenty of holdover fish from the fall stocking.

The rivers in southeastern NH are producing some nice fish from Lamprey, Cocheco, and Isinglas. The waters are high so please bring a wading staff and use caution as you traverse the rivers.

The Swift River in Belchertown is yielding some beautiful rainbow trout as well as “yes” – some landlocked salmon! The salmon have come over the spillway in large numbers and anglers are having a lot of success hooking these beauties.

If you catch a rogue warm day leave the desk, cubby hole, office and get out for a few hours to your favorite local place to fish. We are blessed with so many options within a 1 – 1 1/2 hour ride from the fly shop as well as the 2 local rivers to spend your time on.

“Fish hard, Fish deep, Fish often”

Thank you to everyone who has helped in some way to make my fly shop your “local fly shop”. I would not be here without your loyalty. I am so grateful to all.

Happy Holidays & See you on the water,

Charlie Shadan

November 2018 Update

To my loyal & valued customers,

The frost is on the pumpkins and all the mums have replaced our summer flowers. Those are sure harbingers of what is to come.

Both area rivers, the Nissitissit, and the Squannacook have plenty of fish in the water. I had 5 clients out on different days last week across both rivers and all hooked into and landed fish every day.

On Tuesday 10/23 I fished the Deerfield River and landed 5 fish. After enjoying Game 1 and leaving early the next day I proceeded to the Swift River in Belchertown.

I easily hooked 12-15 fish in about a 3-hour stretch and landed 7 or 8. The fish were huge, some were at least 2 1/2 – 3 lbs. and real hefty!

It was a real nice 2-day respite from the daily rigors of life.

Get yourself motivated, pack your car and take in the Swift or the Deerfield next week if you don’t mind the travel.

Call the shop for details on where to fish. If you are inclined to stay local, call and I will put you in the correct spots to be successful on either river.

As the season winds down around here don’t forget to look at the possibility of fishing the 4 rivers in Southeastern NH that are still open. All four rivers have been stocked handsomely by the Three Rivers Stocking Association. They are the Lamprey, Cocheco, Isinglas, and Exeter rivers.

That group raised many thousands of dollars at their recent auction/banquet and spent lots of $ on purchasing fish and spreading them throughout all the rivers. Fish from 11″ – 18″ were stocked.

Dress warm, fill the thermos with hot coffee, pack your car and head on up to these spots. Call the shop for details on where to go. Work will always be there when you get back.

Find new waters and you will enhance your fondness for fly fishing many times over. You’ll meet like-minded people, provide yourself with a stress-free atmosphere and return energized to face life’s curveballs the next day.

Only 2 months remain for 2018’s Rewards Program at the shop. Gather your receipts, total them up and come in to redeem your free items. A small purchase can put you over the top in some category and make it really worth your while.

The shop rewards program is the most lucrative rewards program in the industry. Nothing compares to getting almost 30% in free items if you hit Category 3 or 4.

The shop is loaded with new waders, wading boots, rods, reels and fly lines for you to take a look at. Come in and browse what’s available for you to upgrade some items in your gear.

As the holidays approach and you are asked what it is you might like for a gift(s), don’t forget to offer up that we carry gift certificates for all occasions. With a certificate in hand, you can choose exactly what you want to replace or upgrade a piece of equipment.

Beginners fly tying classes are sold out already. If you are interested in learning to tie, call the shop for details on the next set of lessons beginning in Jan 2019.

Thanks to all for your patronage and continued loyalty to my shop.

Thank you & See you on the water,

October 2018 Update

To my loyal & valued customers,

The incessant humidity and heat seem to be in our rearview mirrors. Cooler, crisp days and evenings are on our doorstep. These days are a fly fishermen’s’ dream!

The area rivers have been stocked with healthy 12-16″ rainbows and browns. Local ponds have also received their allotment of fall fish. This “cocktail” of fish and cooperating temps only needs you to complete the recipe.

The water levels are starting to recede nicely and the fall is shaping up to be a banner season. For the first time in 3-4 years, we have fall water in our streams.

Get your gear, tune it up if necessary and point your car in the direction of your favorite stream, river, pond, lake, etc. A day away from the office is worth 10 days of stress at your desk. Gone fishin’ is the order of the day.

You will be glad you “turned the tables” on your workload by spending a glorious day in full view of fall colors, rising trout and taking part in some healthy stress relief!

If you need new waders to keep you dry, a more comfortable pair of wading shoes or a new reel, rod or line then come to the Evening Sun Fly Shop and see the line-up of new products I have brought to the shop.

First class items, knowledgeable people to help fit and explain your items, and competitive pricing are the hallmarks of my fly shop. Pressure sales and false claims are “parked at the doorstep”.

Only helpful, honest service is supplied to you as a way of conducting my business.

Thank you & See you on the water,

Charlie Shadan

Please support their fundraising efforts by attending and having a fine meal as well as garnering some new items. This group deserves all of our support.
