Skinny Ties Come in Interesting Shapes and Sizes
Whereas most standard neckties are 3 ¼ to 4 inches wide, the skinny ones are at most 3 inches wide. The measurement is taken at the widest point by the tip, from corner to corner. Some variations of these narrow accessories come in more interesting shapes and sizes. One inch neckties offer a radical look. Square end skinny neckwear has been around for over 100 years and continues to be part of more formal dress and skinny shaped neckties have fun novelty themes meant to look weird, wacky and downright funny.
Most skinny ties taper outward until they reach the tip, as do normal width neckties. At the very extreme, 1 inch skinny neckties don't taper at all. They are one inch wide from tip to tip. Super skinny neckwear first appeared at the beginning of the 20th century. They measured as thin as 1 ½ inches and were appropriately referred to as "string ties". The thinnest of them reappeared in the early sixties, when they reached the minimum width of one inch. The label on one such accessory read "Splinter". Most people are used to seeing and more comfortable wearing neckwear which actually tapers a bit and this begins to be more noticeable at 1 ½ inch inches.
Square end ties are exactly what the name implies: square at both ends. No tips. They are also known as "square bottom" and "flat bottom" neckties. Such neckwear was also introduced at the turn of the 20th century and ranged in width from 2 to 2 ½ inches. They were again manufactured in the 1950's and 1960's at similar widths. By the mid 60's and into the 70's they grew over 3 inches. Many were four inches wide. Their width shrunk back to the around 2 inches as they continue to be made today. Most all square end neckwear does not taper. They are the same width from the knot to the very end.
The most fascinating narrow ties have a novelty theme. Back in 1986 the Ralph Marlin Company had its start as a manufacturer of neckwear. Their first collection was all fish shaped. The neckties were rounded at the ends to mimic the shape of fish heads. They really grabbed the attention and were the topic of conversations at social gatherings.
Today you can find a wonderful selection of skinny shaped neckties. Basically they follow the outlines of the things they represent: Beer bottle and wine bottle shaped neckwear is popular. Stethoscope shaped ties are perfect for doctors. They can help ease anxious patients at stressful times as well as bring about a smile to people's faces. The dolphin and parrot shaped ones end at a point. Many guitar shaped neckties are rounded and are great conversation starters. There is something out there for everyone.
Narrow neckwear comes in a lot of fun shapes and sizes. Best of all, there is a nice selection available for a variety of occasions. Some thin neckties are ideal for in and out of the office. Some are best worn at formal gatherings and others are most appropriate for fun social events. If you love skinny neckwear, both new and vintage, and are looking to expand your collection, the possibilities are endless. You can find many unique ones when searching online for "square end", "vintage novelty", and "vintage skinny ties".

Fly Fishing the Overlooked Jefferson River
Southwest Montana has many famous must-fish fly fishing rivers. One river that gets overlooked and has been fishing better over the last several years is the Jefferson River. The famous headwaters of the Jefferson are the Ruby River, Beaverhead River and Big Hole River. After years of struggling with dewatering problems on the Jefferson, work has been done to improve the trout fishery.
Groups like The Jefferson River Water Council formed by Trout Unlimited, irrigators, business people and the fishing community have helped keep water in this great fishery. A drought management plan was put into place that includes voluntary reductions in water diversions on the Jefferson. The drought of 1988 had the Jefferson so dewatered that the river did not have any flow between pools on some sections of the river. Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks provided sport fishing closures when the Jefferson was reduced to certain low levels. These voluntary reductions (donations) which represent much money, have essentially kept the river from drying up since 1988. The irrigators are voluntarily retaining a base stream flow of 50 cubic feet per second (cfs) during the irrigation season. This drought management plan has improved the fishery so that even in low water years, the river will not be dewatered to lethal levels.
The fly fishing season on the Jefferson is short compared to other Southwest Montana fisheries like the Big Hole River, Beaverhead River or Madison River. Usually the Jefferson will have a short but excellent pre-runoff period of productive fishing. Mid April is when this fishery starts to shine. The best fly fishing tactic during the spring is large streamers and some argue this is the only way to fish the Jefferson River. You will not find the abundant trout population in this river like you will in the Madison River or Big Hole River but there are some very large brown trout that lurk under banks and deadfall.
Once runoff hits on the Jefferson in early May it usually takes awhile for this river to get into fishing shape again. On high water years like we have had the last three years it is not until mid July that the Jefferson starts to be productive. As the water starts to clear, the streamer bite is on! This is a great time to target the large browns on the Jefferson. You will also find Golden Stones and nocturnal stoneflies in July on the Jefferson. Rainbows are willing to rise to your large foam attractor patterns in July.
Come August, the Jefferson is usually getting warm and low, but that doesn't mean that the fishing drops off. Hoppers are the meal of choice in August and September on the Jefferson River, and there is a ton of grasshoppers lining the banks of the Jefferson during this time of the year. Unfortunately, during low water years, the river's water temperatures can increase to a dangerous level for trout. To protect the health of the fishery we ask that anglers do not fish when the water temperatures get over 72 degrees. These unsafe river temperatures may occur in August or early September during low water years. Feel free to give the Sunrise Fly Shop a call 406-835-3474 or go to sunriseflyshop.com to get fishing reports on the Jefferson River.
Solitude and the chance of a trophy trout is a reason to fish the Jefferson River in the fall. In addition to great Blue Winged Olive hatches, Sunrise Fly Shop's guides have also caught some of our largest browns on streamers during the autumn season. This is not a river that you can expect 50 fish average days like you can have on the Beaverhead River and Big Hole River fly fishing, but the Jefferson is a special place with very large fish and lets you appreciate yet another fishery in Southwest Montana.
