Update from the hill: After two weeks of keeping us on our toes, our prickly friend has been safely transported to a wildlife rehab specialist as it appeared to have some kind of illness or injury. We wish him a speedy recovery and hope he gets back on point soon.

Join us for the 2026 Jim Gariepy Memorial Single Fly Fishing Tournament & Fly Fishing 101 Clinic on June 6–7!

This weekend honors Jim Gariepy, former President of the Deerfield River Chapter of Trout Unlimited. Jim was an avid fly fisher, paddler, and skier who helped lead the Single Fly event for several years. In 2018, the chapter renamed the event in his memory. In that same spirit, the weekend is meant to be about fly fishing, learning, conservation, and camaraderie as much as competition.

Saturday, June 6
Fly Fishing 101 Clinic
Location: Zoar Outdoor, 7 Main Street, Charlemont, MA

This is a great opportunity for new anglers to learn the basics of fly fishing in a welcoming, hands-on setting. Instruction will cover prepping, casting, reading water and safe wading, and fly presentation, with on-the-water mentor sessions in the afternoon.

Participants who register for the skills clinic will receive a starter pack of flies and a raffle ticket for a future guided instruction day.

Sunday, June 7
Single Fly Tournament
Location: Zoar Picnic Area, Rowe, MA

A one-day catch and release tournament where anglers fish with three copies of one chosen fly pattern and hook size. Awards are based on total inches of trout. All waters within the Deerfield River Watershed are open for the competition.

Registration options:
Fly Fishing 101 only: $25
Single Fly, TU Member: $30
Single Fly, Non-TU Member: $40
Fly Fishing 101 + Single Fly: $35

Thank you to our event sponsors, Zoar Outdoor and Deerfield Fly Shop for making this event possible. We hope that the education of new anglers and camaraderie of friendly competition will encourage all to have a hands on approach to conservation efforts throughout the Deerfield River Watershed.

Register at the link below and please feel free to DM with any questions! We hope to see you there!
