THE FLY SHOP'S 45th Anniversary EVENT!

FORTY FIVE YEARS AGO it was my pleasure to meet two enterprising young men with a dream, Mike Michalak and Brad Jackson. They knew what they wanted. They understood Redding was the prime spot to open a fly shop, with the intersection of Interstate 5 and Highway 299 pointing the way to world-class fishing in every direction – north, south, east or west! I was in real estate at the time, and by the afternoon of the first day we met we found a small commercial spot behind a pizza parlor, and The Fly Shop® soon opened its doors. What started as a two-man operation has grown to what it is today, with the latest and greatest retail store, knowledgeable guide service, local private waters, and a world-class international travel service second to none!

None of this would have been possible without the support of all of you, our valued customers.

We want to say thank you by having a free luncheon on June 9th, between 10 am and 3 pm.

With the heavy snowpack we have had this year, our local rivers look to be in fantastic shape by early June. Hat Creek, Fall River, Pit River, and the McCloud will be among the favorites. The Lower Sacramento River, one of our country’s finest trout fisheries, will be ideal. Keep your fingers crossed for the Upper Sacramento.

We are grateful that several of our vendors will be here with the gear they sell, and happy to answer any questions you may have. Our local fly club, Shasta Trinity Flyfishers, will serve the luncheon. Be sure to sign up for door prizes when you get here!

We will be serving lunch (no charge) for guests of this event. Our friends at @Shasta Trinity Fly Fishers will be making up hamburgers and hotdogs with chips and sides to fill your bellies.

We will have the following Manufacturers and their Representatives here to show off the newest gear and to answer all of your questions:


• Darin Elmore - Scientific Anglers, Orvis, Galvan and Riversmith
• Matt Callies - Scott, Abel/Ross, Loon, Korkers, Airflo, Fulling Mills, Trouthunter and Firehole

Last, but not least, we will be having some in-store sales and promotions going on. You will need to be present to take advantage of these offers as they won't be on our website.
