OPEN TO CUSTOMERS - NEW POLICIES IN EFFECT

With the announcement that retail shops will now again be opening to the public we are making preparations to allow customers into our shop. The measures that we will be taking, and policies that will be in place will be for your, our, and our family's safety.

While the shop is now open once again, it is not business as usual.

We need you, our customers, to understand why our policies are in effect. Our number one duty is to protect ourselves, and our loved ones, following that is providing a great, now modified, customer experience in the shop.

WE ARE ENCOURAGING EVERYONE TO CONTINUE PURCHASING THEIR ITEMS ONLINE OR OVER THE PHONE FOR CURB-SIDE PICK-UP AND SHIPPING.  PLEASE AVOID UNNECESSARY VISITS INTO THE STORE IF AT ALL POSSIBLE

PLEASE PRIORITIZE VISITS FOR REASONS SUCH AS THE FITTING OF WADERS, WADING BOOTS, CLOTHING, ROD AND REEL PURCHASES THINGS THAT YOU MUST BE IN THE SHOP FOR AND THAT CANNOT BE DONE ONLINE OR OVER THE PHONE

​

EVERY VISIT YOU MAKE TO THE SHOP PUTS US AT RISK OF BEING EXPOSED TO COVID-19

PLEASE DEEPLY CONSIDER IF YOU NEED TO VISIT IN-PERSON

Purchasing any goods in a fly shop is a very intimate experience. Being fit for waders, wading boots, and other clothing, you come into close contact with our employees. When in the aisles searching for fly tying supplies you are face to face with product and you can bump into other customers easily, when we are demonstrating how to use gear, or how to tie a knot, it is usually up-close and personal. When we are giving advice on where to fish, explaining a technique, or telling a story, we are projecting what is in ourselves out to you, the same is when you speak to us.

There are a number opportunities in a single visit to a fly shop to pass on any cold or flu, and in particular in this case Covid-19 is a very real concern.

This is why these new policies are instated.

The situation around Covid-19 is constantly evolving, and so are we. Policies that are in effect one day, may me modified the next - so keep tuned to our website for any changes.
