In my area, Greater Vancouver, BC, several fly shops have closed their doors

receivership. My nearest fly shop closed several years ago. I can think of
only one shop that has opened in recent years and that is not fly only.

Neville,
I know sad to see. We went out to the Island just a few weeks ago and
saw a sign on one
as they were doing final inventory. We also stopped by Michael & Youngs,
and were quite
impressed with the selection there. I also witnessed a car accident that
occured just outside
the shops front doors too. Even though ICBC is no fault insurance,
here's hoping
that they call me in for court as a witness, have flyrod.. will travel. =)
Another real nice flyshop we hit was located in Kamloops as well, indeed
we tried to
hit as many of these as we could along the way. Since Denny's closed up
here in Edmonton
the picking have been slim as well.
