Well everyone, their have been some things a happening around here. Firstly, I would like to announce that our shop has a new family member. We would like to welcome Karl Ekberg as a new partner in the business. Most of you know Karl either from meeting him at the shop, or you have seen him at the river most likely. Karl is not easily forgettable, as he is owner of the finest mustache in these parts!!! Karl will be in the shop tying flies and helping people, or out on the water guiding people into fish. He is a great fly tier, and a great fishermen. We are super pleased that he decided to join the gang!
The other thing that we are super excited about is all the new things we will be getting into the shop over the next couple of weeks. Fly tying wall revamped with more materials, awesome waders and boots from Aquaz, bigger selection of TFO rods and reels, new boxes with our logo stamped on, more great lines from Jim Teeny, Chattooga River Fly Shop t-shirts and hats, all the accessories you are looking for, Fisknat nets, maps, flies and more!!!! The shop will look better than ever! If you have Christmas needs, just let us know and we will “hook” you up…..(Sorry I had to, required by fly shop owners manual)
We truly appreciate all our friends and customers that have helped us grow to this point. It has been an arduous task starting a fly shop in this economy but we are so glad that we did it. We have made so many great friends that we otherwise would not have, that alone was worth it! We thank you each and everyone!!!
Now before this blog starts to sound like an advertisement, I want to wish everyone a happy holiday season. As some of you may know, I didn’t grow up celebrating this holiday. Weird, right? LOL! Pessimistic hearts say this is a Holiday commercialized in the 50’s into what it is now, and to an extent that is true… Optimistic hearts know this is a Holiday about love for your family, and trying to be good to your fellow man. Thank goodness for Kellie and Lili showing me the correct way to look at it… Now Kellie has an excited 4 year old and 36 year old on Christmas morning! Well wishes to everyone, and we will see you at shop! (or the river if we are lucky!)
P.S. Andy caught a big trout out of the Toccoa on Thanksgiving, and then Griff caught a big rainbow out of the Tuck the next weekend!!! Stinkers!
