Top notch expert!

5 /5

I’m just a gal having fun learning to fly fish and ready to buy my own set up. Having minimal knowledge of what buy and loads of options out there, shopping can be a bit overwhelming. But, Johnny was so great to work with! His knowledge & attention to detail, and humor made it fun & easy figuring out a great starter set up best suited for me.

Matt helped me out of the fog and the overwhelming state I was in trying to buy my first Flyfishing set up…. I would still be fishing for gear a month from now if it wasn’t for him sticking his hand out to me.

5 /5

I’ve dealt with more than a handful of folks on fb marketplace that were downright aggressive, mean, and unhelpful to me over a series of exchanges in my search for gear. Matt was everything but. He not only pointed me in the right direction but he was friendly and knowledgeable as well. I needed all the help I could get and he was there. Thanknu again Matt.
