This strip of shops faces the Beltline/frontage road but is at an easy exit so convenient to anywhere. Easy to stop in on your way to your destination. Easy parking. I have been here as the "plus one" with the boyfriend picking up bait, line, and lures. There seems to be enough in stock to keep the guy intrigued. There seems to be a couple guys working the shop at any one time. Some are experienced sportsmen and sometimes a high school kid on his first job. All that to say, there is probably someone here to give you advice or talk shop if that's your thing. I like that they've got pics of guys and their catches up, involvement in community events like tourney sponsorships, and attention paid to keeping youth in the sports. Following the Facebook page, you'll see featured items from fresh bait updates to $400 equipment. I do believe they sell fishing licenses here. I haven't been here alone as a woman novice in these sports but I have asked a question or two on my own and felt comfortable.

Got the fish when it was 4 inches long so when it died after 10 years, I decided to have it mounted. Most taxidermy shops only do game fish but the owner at this place had no problem doing my Koi. The service took about 4 months to complete and I was very happy with the way it turned out.

Some friends and I recently took a trip to stay at a cabin in the Rockford area. We had planned to go cross country skiing and found that Rocktown Adventures rents xc skis in the winter. What we had not planned on was how slow we would be at finally leaving the cabin to go pick up the skis. Since they unfortunately don't do reservations for the skis, we called ahead to make sure they had some before heading over. By the time we got there it was already around 3 pm and unbeknownst to us, they close at 5 pm on the weekends. We got started with the rental process only to realize we would have very little time to ski before sundown. After explaining a couple options we had for still getting out on the skis, the staff member ultimately told us it probably wouldn't be worth our money given our time constraints. Instead of staying quiet, taking our money, and letting us have a very short ski trip, the staff member suggested the option that was best for us! He then told us that if we were ever back in town to just give them a call and if they had skis available he'd have them ready for us when we arrived. Not only is the staff knowledgeable and caring but they have an incredible selection of gear. We didn't end up spending any money there, and that is exactly why this was a five star experience!
