Got some great new for the Duluth - Superior area. There will be another fly shop opening up in Duluth. The owners do have some connections to the previous Lester River Fly Shop. This store is going to be much much bigger then their previous store with many new brands and the same brands as before and the same local expertise for fly fishing northern Minnesota.
Who knows maybe I'll be putting a few hours down there working behind the counter. If I'm working, I'm not spending money Their opening date is July 1st, 2006.
Great Lakes Fly Company313 West Superior StreetDuluth, MN
The store number is 218-740-3040
I checked out the shop recently because it's only like a 2 blocks from where I work, lucky for me. Now I know where I'll be spending my lunch breaks at
The shop looks great and with some really good products. The shop is carrying Temple Fork, Scott and Winston rods, which are all excellent rods. They are also carrying Cloud Veils new line of fly fishing gear, including their 8x waders, those are some sweet waders with a life time guarentee. I'll probably be getting one of those as soon as safe up some cash. They also have fish pond products as well.
Swing on by the shop and let them know you heard about them thru www.mnflyfishing.com and spend some money on a local store.
It may sound like I work for the shop, but I don't. I just know John really well and want to see a local Duluth, MN fly shop sticking around for years to come. He's a great guy with lots of fly fishing knowledge.
Later and good luck out there.
