Fly Fishing Department Nothing seems to compliment the serene beauty of a stream better than the smooth cast of a fly rod, with its arc of the line through the air and perfect presentation of the fly before the foe. From the delicate leader to the simple reel, fly fishing is the most direct contact you can have with a fish. It can also be one of the most challenging, and almost everyone we know who has tried it has gotten hooked. When we began selling fly fishing gear, it was a fairly esoteric pursuit of a few die-hards on California's unspoiled waters. Of course, interest in the sport has grown quite a bit in recent years, and our broad selection and service have kept pace. We've worked hard over the years to demystify this challenging approach to fishing through classes, clinics, seminars, demonstrations and our annual Fly Fishing Fair each spring. Western Sport Shop was one of the original Sage Fly Rod dealers, among the first Cortland Pro Shops on the west coast, and has become a Scientific Angler Mastery Dealer. Our fly fishing department has become larger than most stand-alone fly shops, and offers a premium selection of quality fly rods, fly reels, fly patterns, gear and tying materials. Our staff is in constant contact with guides and other anglers, and will be more than happy to recommend fly patterns and techniques for your next outing, from surf to stream. Click here for more about what we stock at our stores. One of the things we've learned over the years is that you never stop learning. We have a regular schedule of beginning and advanced fly tying and casting classes. Click here for a current schedule of classes.
Fly Tying Equipment and Materials
Start by choosing the best necks and hackle from Hoffman, Metz, J. Fair and Whiting Farms, add to that a breadth of dubbing, poly & synthetics fabrics, chenilles, feathers and more. Then, scan our broad choice of hooks from Tiemco, Mustad and Eagle Claw, plus specialty hooks geared to specific patternsi. If you need eyes, beads, lead, cork, foam or just about anything else, it's probably hanging in our Fly Tying Department. If it isn't, and we can get it, we'd be happy to special order anything that your needs demand. Whether you need a rock-solid tying vise by Dyna-King, or just finally wore out your hackle pliers, our tool selection has you covered. We also have northern California's largest selection of Fly Tying literature and books. Many of the titles are available for online purchase.
We
have also made a special purchase on Metz Necks and Saddles -
