Pub. I’m not sure if it is a brewery too. 🙂

Willie is the best, so happy for him. He was talking about starting this a couple years ago, awesome to see it completed.

Nice, I have been looking for a new rod to fish the mouth of the cap with and Bass Pro has nothing to my standards. I will be passing through the valley next week and will def drop in to check this place out. I find Cabelas/Bass Pro are to American with their selection.

Will Willie be offering up fly casting lessons? I know there is a demand for it. I get asked a lot if there is a fly fishing lesson to be had in here locally. I would teach how to fling the fur and feather but I’m not licensed or certified  to do so.

I stopped by the store yesterday with my son and met Willie. He told us to keep an eye out on Instagram for fly casting lesson announcements.

I called in to check it out on Friday and it’s awesome. Talked to a couple of the guys there and bought some gear too. I really hope the shop does well.

A big bonus is the new Banter ice cream shop is just a couple of doors down too!

Wow, in this day and age it takes balls of steel to invest your money in the Fishing/Hunting industry. Too risky for me, but I hope they do well.
