I read a post a while back saying that GM was getting out of the tying supplies. I met a gent named Marshall Hall in their Knoxville,TN store that gave me some info I'd like to pass along. A lot of the stores don't do much fly fishing or tying, and those will be scaled back. However this Knoxville store is the top seller of fly related stuff and will be carrying more than ever. Marshall has done guided trips, held casting and tying classes, and been fly fishing for about 40 years. He also builds rods and has forgotten more than I will probably ever know. He's very helpful and easy to talk to, and answered my many questions until he knew I understood what he was saying. A real nice guy. Corporate is leaning on him a lot to get this store stocked with what he thinks should be in a well equipped store. This store isn't local to me, but it's nice to know where to find what you need. Gander prices aren't the lowest but it might help some of us out.
