I was flying into Sacramento for a camping trip in Lassen Volcanic National Park for the weekend…read more We didn't want to go the other way for the REI in Sacramento, so I found Hermit's Hut in Redding. Couldn't be a better experience. We spoke to Dan (his name is Dan Geer - aka Danger), who said he would stick around after the store closed so we could get fuel for our camping trip. He couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. He showed us the gear he had on special order, made some recommendations on where to explore in the area, and helped us get our camping fuel long after his store closed. We had an excellent trip thanks to Dan. Highly recommend getting gear here if you're hiking or backpacking in the Lassen/Redding/Shasta area.

This type of fishing isn't available near Livermore but I was aware of the fishery around Redding and was also aware of the Fly Shop because of their worldwide fly fishing travel services. I called and easily booked a guide for a one day float trip on the Sacramento River. We drove up from Livermore and spent the night in Redding and showed up at the Fly Shop the next morning to meet our guide Shane. Although I own enough fly fishing gear myself to stock a small store I didn't want to lug it all on the plane but Shane provided all the gear we needed - rods, reels, flies etc. I asked Shane to focus on my grandson and he was a big help in upgrading my grandson's skills. He hooked numerous rainbow trout and landed a few which were carefully handled and released by Shane. It was a great day - a nice clean drift boat, a skillful and friendly guide, beautiful scenery, and a good lunch. I highly recommend

He said that numerous times with the other person behind the counter that wasn't doing anything,hearing this, but saying nothing throughout the whole process. And after $300, it turns out the lenses are not correct for what I need. They're good glasses, but they don't work properly for my usage. At no point through this did that sales person or the person behind the counter say ,wait , let me find somebody in the store that does know about these glasses to help make an informed decision.What it felt like from this store was , pick something out, pay us and get out.
