I'm worried that a significant number of fly shops will go out of business due to this pandemic. I used to own a shop on the Deschutes that went out of business despite my best efforts and experience in the industry. I'd hate to see that happen to the shops who are still around. I'd like to see if there's any interest from people here in contributing to a fund that could hopefully provide some money for shops to pay their bills until this thing is over.
I know that many are buying gift cards, etc. I think that is great and people should continue doing that. This fund that I'm thinking about would provide the money free of obligation to the shops. Just a way for anglers to help keep our favorite shops open.
What do you all think?
