Always sad to see any kind of shop close their doors.

 

Calgary, needs a fly shop in the NW. I'm not liking the big box store in Balzac anymore.

 

Love to see one in the NW again Troutfitters sure is missed but at least the ones in the south are on the way to the river and you can find a parking spot

Having a bit of a conundrum...having never stepped foot in the store ( as stated long way from the NW) and as much as I like a good deal, running down there to get a deal when I did not financially support their dream of running a flyshop seems a little reprehensible...having said that I also realize the more they sell now the less is owed to the creditors....

Really too bad to see this shop close. I never ventured into any other fly shops in the city, other than wss and bps. Hit up the fishin hole once or twice as well.

 

Southbow was a great place to bs on a bad weather day, the guys were always full of information. Taught me a lot, in return I told them how I did. My first two years of fly fishing wouldn't have been what they were without these guys and their fantastic shop. Thanks a lot - good luck with what ever path you may take.
