I'm a mediocre fly fisherman. I fish a lot, but where I live it's a lot more gear fishing (bass,…read moresalmon, etc.). I recently bought a cheap Orvis flyrod off of Craigslist and it wasn't fishing very well, so I took it in to Deschutes Canyon Fly Shop. The owner was extremely patient and helpful with a newbie like me. He pointed me in the direction of some good flies that would be productive, he re-rigged my line so it was fishing a LOT smoother, and he was even willing to teach me a few new knots. I think my photos speak for themselves, but he got me from Skunkville to actually catching on a fly rod, so I can't argue with the results. Seriously though, great owner and great shop. Highly recommend!

I recently ordered a 3wt Redington CT combo with the Big Y standard reel. The combo was delivered in a couple of days. I noticed a problem with the fly line the 1st time I cast it. I emailed them and got a quick response even though it was Labor Day. They emailed me a shipping label to send the reel back. I had the reel back in my hands respooled with new line in less than a week. Great customer service! I've also got to say I'm really impressed with their Big Y Standard reel for the money. The machining is great and it's a really smooth reel that seems to shoot way above its price point.
