    BEST FLY SHOP IN TOWN! Being from Northern California, I love to fish. I struggled for a while to find a legitimate, knowledgeable fly shop here in San Diego. I am so glad I found this place! The people who work here are very inviting and very knowledgeable. We spent about 45 minutes - 1 hour in the shop talking bay and ocean fly fishing, what flies to use, and all their tips and tricks for fishing down here in San Diego. They recommended a few different flies, which we bought and used that day. And would you know my best friend and I both caught fish in the San Diego Bay. I can't think these guys enough! These guys are also great people, as they donate a lot of stuff to fly fishing organizations here in San Diego. They definitely care about the community and I truly appreciate that about this company. The shop will forever have my business!

    My first Trout ready for dinner!

    They have a huge selection and a knowledgeable/helpful owner! I was shopping for gifts, and got lots of good recommendations.

    Rick will explain things down to the basics. Also conscious of if you are working on a budget. Feels like local community service.

    I had an extremely disappointing experience with Golf Galaxy regarding a recent shaft installation…read more I brought in a brand new Mitsubishi Tensei 1K Black 65g stiff shaft to have a TaylorMade adapter installed for my SIM2 driver. The club was professionally installed by their team. On the very first session using it, the shaft snapped at the tip after a normal drive (not a mishit into the ground or anything abusive). A break at the tip immediately after installation strongly suggests improper installation -- most commonly excessive heat during adapter install or structural damage to the tip. This is not normal wear and tear, especially for a premium shaft like this. I brought it back to the store the same day, and they refused to take any responsibility or even meaningfully inspect the installation quality. I was essentially told it was my fault, despite the failure occurring right where installation work was performed. I understand accidents can happen, but the complete lack of accountability or willingness to help resolve the issue is what makes this experience unacceptable. When you trust a retailer with professional club work, you expect a basic level of responsibility if something goes wrong -- especially immediately after service. I would strongly recommend being cautious when using this location for club repairs or shaft installs. Based on my experience, there is little protection for the customer if something goes wrong.

    Brought in a $500 Scotty Cameron to get re-gripped they didn't even bother to ask me if I wanted to…read morepreserve my original Scotty Cameron grip they just cut it off completely without asking me if that was even an option to preserve it. Once I asked them, they just said it was an extra fee if I were to have it preserved. They never asked me one time if that was an option.

    Between my husband and I we have officially bought five boards from the shop! Most recently we…read morebought two boards today, a 7'4 torque board and a 7'0 Tomo. We love coming to this place to buy our boards, one for the selection, two for the knowledgeable and honest staff. Most of our boards we have sought advice and guidance from Francois and today we had the pleasure of meeting Bird (the owner)! Which honestly I didn't realize was even the owner until after we left in my husband told me lol. I really enjoy how honest and knowledgeable the staff is it really has made my husband and I feel good about picking boards. Boards are not cheap, they are definitely an investment and the right technology size, length, type all can make a huge difference. So I don't trust anywhere else to go but this place! You can also do a demo rental at their OB shed location before you make a purchase!

    After 40 years of surfing, I thought I'd seen everything a surf shop could offer. Bird's proved me…read morewrong. I came in looking for a new board and was fortunate enough to work directly with Bird himself. From the moment we started talking, it was clear this wasn't going to be a typical retail experience. He took real time to understand what boards I currently ride and -- more importantly -- what I'm actually trying to get out of a new one. Patient, knowledgeable, and completely free of the condescension that can sometimes creep into shops like this. No ego, just genuine expertise. We narrowed it down to two models, and here's where Bird's went from great to extraordinary: rather than push me toward a decision, Bird offered to loan me one of his own personal boards to try out first. In four decades of surfing, no shop has ever made me that offer. Ever. This is what a surf shop should be. Highest possible recommendation.

    Full disclosure: I know nothing about fishing, fishing supplies, or cost. However, with that being…read moresaid I do know when someone is trying to up-sale you, rip you off, and has poor customer service. Came in today after lunch to have my son's fishing spool replaced. Max was amazing! Friendly, professional, and had great customer service. Note: my son went there last week to have line put on his new reel. He could have tried to up sale me and try to get me to purchase other things but he didn't. He also remembered my son and had nice things to say. I asked him some questions and he seemed very knowledgeable. Fixed the line on my son's reel for free. The store is pretty small and full of supplies. Parking is very limited. As a customer I value service over anything. With max's service it felt like a local mom/ pop shop and I was a regular customer there. Thank you Max for your help. Service 5/5

    Definitely, this place deserves NO STARS…read more 57+ years fishing and this place represents everything that is wrong with fishing everywhere lumped into one place. So let us get started. The replies are fake apologies, "I am sorry you feel that way," gaslighting, "You misunderstood," playing Doctor, "You are crazy," and blaming others; "Yelp" this and that. Wondering if those 5 Star Reviews are even real because the people leaving them have so few, if any other reviews. I can understand having a bad day, week, month, year, but this nonsense decades? For me, for anyone, to be wanting to be treated this incredibly badly, repeatedly is beyond me. For the high prices, shotty customer service, and recommendations always for the highest profit margin items, other places are far better.
