To my loyal & valued customers,
Stocking our area rivers, ponds, streams and brooks is imminent. In a few weeks our northern territory in the state will be done. Get your gear ready, check for leaks, worn out gear, sunglasses etc. and come in the shop for upgrades. As a small local shop, you can expect superior knowledge and assistance when picking out your new gear.
Don’t forget to use the shop as your resource to put together trips for you locally or out West. Please call me for help anytime. You’ll be surprised as to how much I can help you and your comrades.
Pat Perkins — In addition to building a superb bamboo rod is now doing restorations on all types of bamboo rods. If you have a bamboo rod and it is in need of repair, please contact the shop for details.
