history of our fly shop
In the late 1970s, Bob Marriott transformed his passion for fly fishing into a small shop that quickly became a cornerstone for the angling community. The store's early charm was enhanced by the simple pleasure of sharing coffee and Oreo cookies with customers, fostering a welcoming environment where enthusiasts could gather, share stories, and deepen their love and knowledge for the sport. Pioneers such as Lefty Kreh, Dave Whitlock, Bob Clouser, Lee and Joan Wulff, Gary LaFontaine, Ernest Schwiebert, and many other notables shared their passion and knowledge of the sport between the walls of Bob Marriott's in those early days. Bob fostered a special friendship with each of them that lasted a lifetime.This tradition of hospitality laid the foundation for what has grown into a 7,000-square-foot fly fishing haven, continuing to serve as a hub for anglers of all levels.
