Good Read.
I am a former employee of this shop. (2006 - 2007 if my memory is correct)
We did carry a lot of unique and 1 of a kind items for tying. I built and repaired rods, tied custom fly orders, tied for the fly bins, and assembled Down's boxes.
This is where I learned to build rods, had a pile of great conversations, and learned a ton.
My big boost with this shop came when a person gifted me $100 gift card there when I was learning to tie. That allowed me to get a huge jump in supplies as a teenager.
