Jim and Clyde keep the fly shop stocked with everything the fly fishing
steelheader needs. They are seasoned veterans who know what you need and carry
it at a reasonable price. Stuff you simply can't buy at the Mart stores. They
carry my favorite Scott Rods and Teton Reels. During the season the shop is
always open early and closes late.
