Ideally, we’d all be thoughtful and intentional fly shop patrons out of our own wisdom. Sometimes, we need tales of woe to correct us.

And sometimes, we like to be entertained by the ridiculous goings-on that occur at fly shops.

Once again, I’m turning back a few chapters in my life to when I spent some time working at a fly shop. I share a few stories and pass along a few things I’ve learned from my days selling rods, flies, and ugly sweaters.

Lastly, I encourage you to head into your local fly shop to hear some good (and maybe hairy) stories from these important parts of our culture.
