Hi Ray:
Back in NS and have fly lines and gear scattered all over the living room in preparation for re-spooling. The rest of the family has grown accustomed to this springtime domestic activity…but still can’t help but comment on the clutter.
Glad we were able to finally visit you and your comprehensive shop (your home away from home). Way too much to see there, really, in one visit. I never know where to start in most fly fishing shops, there’s just so much stuff in little packets pasted all over the walls, like 3-D wallpaper. And the First Cast shop was as densely stocked as the best of them !!
Felt doubly lucky that we also serendipitously arrived just in time to take in Larry’s fly tying session — that was a real pleasure and I picked up a LOT of tying and fishing tips from his session. Your shop definitely is an unjudgmental refuge for fishing junkies and fly tying nerds, of which I include myself. Only people of a particular temperment can remain in that shop for more than 10 minutes without becoming confused and/or disinterested; conversely, the fanatics never want to leave..
Hope to get back to the shop again in the future during the fishing season and also wet a line in some of the rivers in the nearby vicinity.
Keep smiling,
March 19th, 2018.
