We are located at the gateway to some of the finest trout waters east and west of the Mississippi; browns, rainbows, brookies - the Southeast Grand Slam! Not to mention, the smallmouth, striper, and saltwater fishing can be spectacular during certain times of the year. It is our mission, as an Orvis Dealer, to furnish the fly angler with all the tools necessary to be successful on the water or in front of the fly tying bench. We are a full-line Orvis dealer so be sure to stop by to see our complete line of Orvis waders, fly rods, fly reels, fishing packs, fly lines, and terminal tackle; as well as, our "off the hook" selection of fly tying supplies, including vises, tools, and materials.
