UPCOMING EVENTS FOR MAY
Greetings!

   We have lots of events for the month of May.  A free introduction to fly fishing class"101", 20% off components of any Helios, Superfine Touch, and Access outfits, or get a gift card worth $10 toward Orvis gear for casting any Orvis rod.( while supply of cards lasts). Doug Bear from the Orvis company will be here on May 5th. to discuss technical aspects of all Orvis products, including the new Hydros Fly Lines.  Also added to the deli is a great salad for those who want something lighter than our great deli sandwiches. But probably the best reason to visit Slate Run is the incredible trout fishing that we have this year.  Check the smile on Dave as he poses with a trout while on a guided trip with Mike O'Brien from our shop.  Dave and his brother had a trip that will stay in their memories for many years.   
   Early season fly fishing was as good as I have ever seen it. Incredible hatches of Caddisflies and Mayflies, along with the low and cool waters of an early season drought, created excellent fly fishing conditions.  Hatches are 3 to 4 weeks ahead of schedule. The March Brown was a full size #10 and started hatching over a month ago. They are still hatching as I write this. Water flows between 250 CFS and 300 CFS, along with water temperatures in the low to upper 40's allowed the trout to start feeding on the surface very early this spring. The Brown Trout Club stocked many beautiful Brown Trout in the Delayed Harvest Area adding to the great conditions.

Great new Products for 2012
 
Every year Orvis introduces new and improved equipment. Last year we had the new Access and Superfine Touch Rods . Both wonderful rods. The new reels included the new Hydros Large Arbor and the New Access Mid-Arbor reels , again both great reels. But this year we have the new Hydros  Fly Lines.  I have to admit, I have been waiting for this for years. Produced in-house by Orvis, these new lines will introduce something truly "new" to fly fishermen.
Totally re-engineered, these new lines will set a new bench mark for the industry. Methane is introduced into the front tapers to create a higher floating tip section, the front loop weld is considerably thinner, helping to eliminate "hinging" and improves loop strength. A new "slickness" additive is integrated into the finish of the line, and a new line identification system telling you what line model and size the line is. And finally a new 3D fly line series with a microtexture surface which reduces friction, improves flotation and eliminates tangles.
The new 3D Hydros Fly Line will allow your fly rod to perform at it's peek technical ability. Requiring less work from you, and providing a more productive and satisfying day on the stream. 
 
 
 
We are excited and looking forward to seeing all of you in the shop this year.  For those of you that need, or want new equipment, we hope that the May Special, along with our neat new products will save you some money (for gas) and supply you with some great equipment .
Sincerely,
