Post by: ratfish on August 28, 2022, 07:41:38 PM: 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.

Post by: Wiseguy on August 29, 2022, 07:23:25 AM: 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.

Post by: ajransom on August 29, 2022, 12:23:00 PM: 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!
