Love da little fishies
It is great to have local knowledge and a place to learn/buy appropriate gear and flies.
Anil at Puget Sound Fly Co finally has some great glow in dark flies for sale. I have bought a few rounds from him in the past few months and love them. The hooks are sticky sharp, so the tugs i get from Ressie and Blackmouth turn into at least a few headshakes before they spit the fly free. It is a thrill to feel the line get jerked backwards. Those fish are not shy about chomping on flies.
Bjorn at The Fly Fisher down in Lacey is another favorite of mine. I used to travel puget sound on business, so was in his shop at least a few times a year, but covid has put a temporary end to that. Bjorn has mailed his hand tied custom leaders for my 6 wt and 2wt rods. They work great. He was also the first one to custom tie flies for me. He tied up glow in dark flies a couple years ago and i just ran out, so he is tying up more for me and will mail them to me.
I feel lucky to have these great guys still in business.
Both are good people to see.
Both have wonderful shop dogs with butt waggin' tails.
There are many other shops in puget sound that I enjoy and try to visit whenever I am near them. Sorry to hear the Bellevue Orvis is shutting down. Especially feel sorry for those of you in Bellevue who will have to drive further for local fly shops.
