After keeping the fly a secret for 9 years, Jim started the Teeny Nymph Company in July of 1971. This was the start-up of what is now Jim Teeny, Inc., the business which Jim and his wife, Donna, now run from their HQ’s in Gresham, Oregon. Innovation was to become a habit with Jim. He conceived of an idea for sinking fly lines which resulted in his T-Series sinking tip fly lines, a concept what was welcomed all across the fly community, from Steelhead fly to deep water off-shore Salt water fisherman. Jim has, subsequently, designed a full Jim Teeny line of specialty fly lines that range from full floating lines to deep sinking salt water lines.

As he experienced growing Last meeting I was informed about several members of our club that had received a parking ticket while attending our regular monthly meeting. I contacted the Recreation Department, and it turns out the Parks and Recreation Department does not write traffic tickets, but the Riverside Police will. My first thought is that we should make sure we’re parked off the road and try not to park where you will be mistaken for a overnight camper. Riverside Police will patrol the park quite often and they are trying to keep everyone out that try’s to camp overnight. Please check out the rules and regulations posted at the entrance if you have any questions about where to park and not to park.
