I would like to know if anyone out there has some information on how to get started in the fly shop business. Mainly I am wondering about suppliers and how to contact them. Any info would be greatly appreciated. :confused:

Your words are all too true these day willie.....

I think the fly business is going more and more towards big box retailers....at least the high $$$$ items.

I see a shifting role of fly shops from selling gear(rods and reels) to needing to be more of a outfitter store complete with guide services, casting classes, tying classes, and things that a small business can provide that a big one cannot.

good luck in your endeavors with your startup
