WOW! Not my kinda fly shop...
i have never seen nor heard so much fluff and BS in any fly shop til this one. it was hard to take the two guys in the shop very serious that i met. i couldn't tell if they actually fished or if they were the proud graduates of some pathetic orvis-type fishing school. their experience sounded as if it they had some years, but the quality of their experience and skill to pass on to me as a fellow angler and as a customer was minimal at best. i thought a fly shop in the "big city" would have more to offer than crappy advice and fly rods made in the far-east. yeh.... it just wasn't my kind of fly shop.

Judge for yourself... you will love Feather and Fly!
Gosh, BrookieHunter... were you talking when you should have been listening? Actually even the most novice angler knows that Orvis and R.L. Winston rods are American made. In fact, it was C. F. Orvis who invented the 8 strip laminated bamboo fly rod and Orvis is the oldest fly fishing company in America. And, the old timers in the shop?... well... John Bolton (me) knew Lew Stoner, one of the founders of R. L. Winston, personally and even spent time in the back of the shop scraping twine off bamboo rods when they were in San Francisco. John also fished with Ernie Schweibert, Lee Wolff and used to go steelhead fishing with Art Neumann who was one of the original founders of Trout Unlimited. Chris Zahnd is a legend in Chattanooga sporting circles and is one of the most knowledgeable flyfishermen in this area. Michelle, the manager at Feather and Fly is a terrific fly fisherlady and great wingshot plus heading up the local TU chapter.... and.... she loads her own ammunition. Mike Stewart, the owner, is the nicest person you will ever meet and he always has words of encouragement for beginners as does Austin Kuhlmann, without a doubt, the best guide in the area.
