The Caddis Fly Angling Shop

If I could give 10 stars I would! I found this shop on the internet and called and spoke to Chris. He was absolutely amazing. I had a strange and random request to buy enough brown feathers to cover a 6′ x 6′ table top for a photo shoot on a small budget. It had nothing to do with fishing, yet Chris was still so helpful. I described what I needed and he suggested options, suggested how much I might need, and even texted me photos. He went above and beyond to help me. I actually wish I was into fishing just to order more from these guys. Thanks so much, Caddis Fly Shop!

I hate that at times I have difficulty remembering people’s names. With that being said EVERY SINGLE person that I have had the privilege of asking a question of has been more than accommodating. I am new to the area and more importantly; I am new to fly fishing.
It is a rather steep learning curve and at no time did the gents at Caddis make me feel pressured to buy anything. They’ve been very forthcoming with passing on knowledge to me and I can’t say thank you enough other than all my fly-​fishing purchases will be done at Caddis. I did research online and I am going to go the Sage VXP & 4250 route for my first rod/​reel set-​up and this was not pressured on me from Caddis. They said I could start out smaller but I know I am going to do this for years to come so I might as well jump in the deep end.
If you have a question or are in the market for all things fly-​fishing; please see how the gents at Caddis can help you out. I am glad that this was the first shop that I stopped by.
They’ve got access to all that you could ever conceive of wanting or needing re: fly-​fishing and are very knowledgable and just all around super helpful for newbies.

I have followed the Caddis Fly Shop’s blog and watched a ton of their videos on YouTube.
I’m getting into two handed fly fishing and decided to order a reel off their website. I got the reel very fast, BUT the drag on the reel wasn’t operating correctly. This was obviously a manufacturer defect as the package arrived undamaged.
I sent an email and within 30 minutes I received an email back saying they would send me a new one with all the return shipping/​packaging for the broken reel. The new reel came in yesterday and works like a charm! Oh and no charge for this!
This is what you call good customer service. They were very prompt and supportive and stood by the products they sell, just as they state on their website. I will definitely be shopping with the Caddis Fly Shop again in the future!

The ONLY place to go.
I’m not an Elite Fly Fisherman but the guys down at the Caddis sure make me feel like it. Everytime I walk in I’m greeted with a friendly «Hello, How can I help you». They now have Ninkasi Beer on Tap, how cool is that?
Their prices are a bit higher than competitors or online, but I’m shopping here for the experience and knowledge and have no problem paying a few bucks more.
Two Thumbs Up for The Caddis Fly.

What can be said about the Caddis Fly that most fly fisherman don’t already know?
They support conservation programs, offer a thorough and replete collection of essential gear and flies, and provide river guiding excursions and instructional opportunities for the novice.
I must admit that damn near a year went by before I would go into the store simply because I felt inexperienced enough to grace their seasoned walls, but to my surprise they made novices and experienced fisherman feel warmly welcomed.
If you are a novice, this might be a good place to meander with the sole purpose of eaves-​dropping on the“old-timers” sharing fishing stories and it will also prove to be a great place to setup a new rig and I highly recommend a Bauer reel and Echo pole combination.
