Freak Show Flies
I have so much junk in my fly boxes. I have a collections of odd flies I have tied that have never been used, and unless I have a chance encounter with a trout that is fond of the works of Salvador Dali, it is doubtful that I will ever use them. Most of these [...]
Field Ingenuity Appreciated
Sending fly rods in for repairs and hearing the stories behind them is part of working at a fly shop. After spending a decent amount of time behind the counter one almost becomes morbidly interested in how these fishing tools meet their demise. Some of the stories I have heard are exactly what you would [...]
2011 “What The Shuck” Dealer Rendezvous Update #2
Fish, fish and more, well, other stuff. We all floated the Rio Grande and the river came into shape just in time. Saying the fishing was fantastic is a monumental understatement. The stones (multiple species), flavs, drakes and PMDs are coming off and the fish were looking up. Here are just a few highlights and [...]

Jeff was the [...]

With the craze of all the ladies putting feathers in their hair (see our recent post about this), we started thinking about all the materials we have in our fly tying department. Our findings…the fly tying selection also doubles as a fashion gold mine! As we stood looking at all the possibilities, we were overwhelmed [...]
I Totally Want To Throw Her For Muskie
The fly-tying-materials-in-your-hair-craze came front and center here today. These very nice girls came by looking for hackles, flashabou and fur to integrate into their hair. Much like a Tiger Muskie, they seemed to be attracted to the brighter, flashier colors. We called all of our fly tying supplies and got promptly laughed at when we [...]
The Smell of a Fly Shop
We overheard a customer saying as he entered the shop: “I haven’t been in a fly shop in over three years, I just wanted to come in and smell it.”
Fishermen Make Horrible Husbands?
