Floor staff are great, but absolutely no inventory in store. I’ve come in multiple times trying to spend money on fishing gear and there has not been any restocks for months now. Not sure what the situation is but they aren’t buying gear and are unable to fulfill the vast majority of fly fishing needs in store.

Great location but little to no inventory and the staff is more interested in drinking and talking then helping the customer.

Booked a float trip on the Watauga early last spring with Alyssa. Despite incredibly awful weather, she put us on fish and made it a great day. Also did an excellent job teaching my novice fishing partner. Really a special experience. Can't say enough good things.
