The guys here are SUPER friendly and helpful. I’ve been to a lot of fly shops on a huge cross country road trip and this place made me feel the most welcome. Caught 10 bows and one brown the day after I stopped in thanks to their location and fly recommendations.

Guide Ruben took us fly fishing on the Pecos River and put us right on the fish. I highly recommend Booking with him. You will be so glad you did. A terrific experience!!
