I said yes please because you were on your phone and who knows what's on your hands. That so gross that had I not asked her to wash her hands, she wouldn't have.

Look no further than Rob Buhler! My son wanted to learn to fly fish for his birthday and I hadn't picked up a rod for 20 years. Rob gave us a fantastic, practical four hour lesson on the river. He took his time teaching fundamentals and made every cast fun. Rob was incredibly knowledgeable about the river, fish, fauna, and the geological history of the area. In addition, he was huge on safety and environmental protection which was a massive positive. Don't think twice about asking for Rob the next time you're in the Kernville area and need a pro. He was so committed to the craft and gave off the vibe of the cool uncle everyone wants to have around. A real gift to the area and we're so glad the shop has folks like him on staff.

Guy's 2-Day Nymphing Clinic. December 2025 I went to the Kern River to spend the weekend fly…read morefishing. My first stop was to the Kern River Fly Shop to get some advice about flies and pick up a few that were working at that time and for the area I intended to fish. While in the shop I opted to sign up for the mailing list to help get reacquainted with the sport. Twenty plus years ago I considered myself a fair fly fisher. Over the years I spent less and less time on the water so when I visited last December, unsurprisingly, I was seriously out of practice. I spent time practicing my cast but needed help in an area I have always struggled with, nymph fishing. The shop sends out emails about various clinics so I signed up for the two day clinic and it was worth it. Guy started by going over the basics including key knots to set up our nymph leaders then building them for ourselves and before lunch we were out testing them out. After lunch more knowledge shared and more fishing. The class was small, five of us, and I felt he spent time with each us zeroing in on what each of us needed both in the water and out. We all walked away with a booklet he provided with key info including the knots, leaders, entomology of the area, and more. We also were provided the leaders and some other goodies and most importantly for me, a MUCH better understanding of nymph casting techniques, the skills to identify the right fly and an added bonus some great placed to fish on the Kern. Last but surely not least, Guy is really personable. He is easy to get along with, has a great sense of humor and most importantly adept at communicating what he knows. I walked away with a full tool kit of skills and am now considering his surf clinic. I live not far from the beach and had never considered saltwater fly fishing, but I am now. A final goodie I got to share with family and friends, a video he posted (with my expressed permission): https://youtube.com/shorts/4Xxio-4EoD0?si=65rLSPFaFBBP1jX6

I requested my own tiny yellow gold cross be inset into a white gold band to make a pinky ring. I…read morewas clear that I did NOT want the cross shape to be outside of the band (so as to catch on anything). I was quoted $500.00. $250 was paid up front. Several times I requested pictures or drawings of what was being made. Nothing. Several times I attempted to verify that the cross would be inset in a white gold band. I was told it would indeed be. TWO MONTHS LATER, I received my own yellow gold cross that had simply been extended and formed into a ring. That was it. No white gold band. My own extended, ring-shaped yellow gold cross. For the sum of $500.00, I received a $40 ring, obtainable through Etsy. I would never do business with this place again. They are far more interested in buying used gold from walk-ins than in actually making jewelry. And they are rather rude at it to boot. EDIT: To the shop owner's response: I picked up the right because it was days before Christmas and it was a gift. If your representation is now that you will make the ring as I originally requested, I will bring it back into your shop so you may do so. Hopefully, I will then be able to amend this review.

Dave answered all questions and invited us down to the shop for a free demo, which we did. We were welcomed by Dave, who went over the bikes and how the worked. We rode around the parking lot a bit. We are old, and it's been a long, long time since we've been on bikes. We did not rent them as my wife felt she needed to up her basic bike skills first. Back to today. We arrived at our our scheduled rental time and were again greeted by Dave. Super friendly, super patient, super easy to work with. He reviewed the bike operation again, set us up with helmets and locks. Explained where to ride and what to do. I thought the rentals were reasonably priced, the bikes are in great shape we had a ball. A long-winded way of saying this place and the staff are great, and it's a very fun outing. If/when we're in the market for an e-bike I'd seriously consider purchasing here just based on service received. Until then, we plan on some more rental rides!

Don't miss out on this way of exploring Bakersfield with the great off the road bike trails that are most flat smooth trails.

It's really nice that when you call and he doesn't pick up, it sends an automated message and from there he gets back to you and you can message him your problem first to make sure he can fix it before wasting your time getting there and him not being able to fix the problem. After taking a look at my car's issue, he lets us kno what he can do and that he needs to get the parts the next day when the dealership opens back up in the morning. Next day rolls by and I message him in the morning asking for an update. He lets me know the dealership does not have our parts but offers a solution to get me back home! He fixes the issue quickly and at a great price! Jeremy is a credible and authentic mechanic!!! Very reliable. Another mention! When he was done assessing the issue, we asked if we could leave the car with him and uber back to our hotel since we didn't have any gas left. He said yes and so we left the keys with him.
