John Harris 5 out of 5 stars★★★★★Love this place. Always stop in when traveling to SW VA. Well stocked, very knowledgeable staff and a cup of coffee on the front porch is a fine start to the day.

Teddy Davis 5 out of 5 stars★★★★★Bruce is the nicest guy and extremely knowledgeable about fishing the Holston, Watauga, and Abingdon-area streams. He was very helpful getting us a few 6' 2-weights for high-country brookies. Shop was very well-stocked with flies, accessories, tying materials, high-quality rods, reels, line, waders, boots. Highly recommended!

Mikel Caywood 5 out of 5 stars★★★★★Bruce Wankle is one of the BEST in our NE Tennessee/SW Virginia region when it comes to catching fish. He is extremely experienced as a guide and has extensive knowledge of our rivers and streams. He sells the equipment that works! If you need advice about fly fishing in our region, go to Bruce FIRST! He always has the answer to my questions about the right fly at the right time. You will not be disappointed. His shop is stocked with everything you need to get started and to stay on the water. He even rents the equipment needed for fly fishing if you're traveling to our location.

Matt Church 5 out of 5 stars★★★★★Friendly, knowledgeable and enjoyable to talk to. Has every bit of equipment you could ever need and gave us exceptional information. We purchased a few flys here and loved this shop. You can't go wrong asking for information here. They will teach you, show you, and tell you what you need to know. Full line of equipment, fly tying gear and all the accessories you could possibly need. While we were there the owner was showing a customer how to tie specific flys. We will make it a point to stop in here Everytime we pass through on our fly fishing trips

Joseph Hughes 5 out of 5 stars★★★★★Great shop with a good selection of flies and gear. Very nice people. They gave me some great advice on local spots to fish to avoid the most pressured areas. They even pulled up Google maps to show me how to get around the area. When I am fishing this region I will certainly be back.
