I wanted to recognize the good service I received from their shop. I had ordered a new Nautilus reel for my Loomis NRX 11 weight from them for a trip to the Keys. We had rented a house in Islamorada for all last week to catch some tarpon. It seems Nautilus had some issues with their anodizer so delivery is delayed. The guys at the shop loaned me one their own Nautilus reels to use for the week. I wanted to publicly thank them for being sure I had a reel to use. I must admit the reel didn’t get used to stop a tarpon, conditions were bad all week. We had nine of us fishing (pulled 3 flats boats down) and only got a few shots. Winds 15 to 25, cloudy with low visibility. The Don Hawley tarpon tournament was going on the same week and they had a bad time too. With 25 boats with top guides they landed barely 50 fish for the week. Last year the total was 218.

Want to second everything that’s been said. Ideally one of the more complete “Fly” shops I’ve evwe been in. They pretty much have everything you need to tie and/or go.
Scotty tied flies for my upcoming Alaska trip…all I did was ask him, in an e-mail, to throw together a package covering fishing in August. Stopped by this past Monday, they were ready and I paid for them. Lots of good stuff and good information in his shop.
