FLY SHOP SERIES - FlyFisher's

[AKSkim]

FlyFisher's Fly Shop, State College, PA

You ever walk into a fly shop and you know there is just something special about it?

Well this is one of those shops. Many of the famous fly fisherman of Central PA have
frequented this shop of the years, the likes of George Harvey, Joe Humphries to name
just two.

It is a little hard to find the first time, but after that it isn't so bad.

The current hatch info is hand written and posted in the front window of the shop.

Along with stream conditions.

Looking for a Richardson Chest Box, this is the place to look and touch one.
They are made just up the road a piece.

Like most fly shops now days the competition of the internet and another
fly shop in the area has had its effect.

Still maintains a very good slection of flies.

Vests and jackets

TYING MATERIALS !!!

If you are ever in the area, this is one shop you should stop at.

Been there, If used to be called Flyfishers Paradise. Now i dont know if the bottom part of the sign fell off or the business changed hands.

That was a while ago.

In 2008 I took another photo of that sign and it was the same FLYFISHER'S. It is the earliest
digital photo that I have of it.

But I do remember it being called Fly Fisher's Paradise, but I don't have any photos of it.

Before 2008 I used a 3.5 floppy disc camera and a disposable Kodak, and I ain't digging through those! LOL.

Nice pickup anyway.
