The Fly Fisher’s Place

Very helpful fishermen. Great shop. Call ahead if you need a specific hardware item since it’s on the smaller side for a complete fly outfitter.

Was in there for about 15 minutes and got one word, «Hi.» It was a nice shop, quality gear, and some decent sale prices, but the guy at the counter was just chatting away with his girlfriend and didn’t offer me a bit of help. A lot of items weren’t priced such as some of the stuff on the sale rack, and a big stack of hats on the right side of the store. I saw a hat or two I would have walked out with, but since they weren’t priced and I felt I was intruding on the shopkeep, I just walked out. No goodbye, no thanks for coming in. I will say I’m not a local, so maybe they are friendlier to familiar faces, but that shouldn’t be the case in the summer in such a touristy area. I found much better service in Bend, and ended up spending a couple hundred bucks on a new kit at a shop in town that could have just as easily been spent here if the service had been better.

Some fly shops can be snooty and not helpful. This place is the opposite. They know what they are talking about and happy to share information. They have a great selection and can custom order items as well. You can also purchase your fishing license while buying other supplies. Lastely, if you want a guide or help finding a place to fish, they can set you up with a professional to get you on the river catching fish.

Jeff and his staff are Great! There was a slight hiccup in the beginning of the day, but everyone worked hard to resolve it and make it a great day of fishing! Mac was my guide for my first fishing experience in Oregon. He performed his guide duties flawlessly. He put me on some fish, taught me some new techniques and improved on some things I was already doing. I missed a lot of strikes and hooked and lost several fish but Mac continued to be patient and politely let me know what to do or not to do next time to increase my odds of landing the fish. I had to great time fishing this beautiful part of the country and hooked into two of the largest fish I have ever fought! Thanks for the great memories guys! I be sure to come visit again!

Awesome, helpful staff!

This is a pretty good fly shop. They have what you need and the knowledge about the area you’d expect. You can get your license here and load up on flies you’ll need for the area rivers and lakes… and there are a lot of rivers and lakes.
I’ve been in here a few times and usually the experience has been pretty good. The last time I was in I was talking to a guy that seemed to have had his whole face botoxed… just expressionless and very uninterested, which is kind of a bummer. Maybe his dog just died or something, otherwise, a little tweak to the attitude could have made me go for 5 stars on this shop.
