Hi,
I know we have more than 2 dutch people on the list...
tomorrow I have the pleasure to drive a load of gals and girls to
Amsterdam (in the Netherlands). They want to do some severe
shopping. Any idea what can save my day? A flyshop to visit? I'll
intend to park the car near the sixt haven and than use the ferry
to go to the central station, therefore I'll next to the central
station.
No decent flyshop left in Amsterdam -- Peeters moved to Kortenhoef (a
stone's throw from where I live...) more than 10 years ago. In my
opinion, the tackle shop with the most history left in Amsterdam is
Schreiner en Zn, whose namesake was the most prolific Dutch angling
writer by far. Their focus was more on spinfishing and carp fishing
than flyfishing, but is worth a visit, or rather was, when old Jan
Schreiner was still alive. He had long since retired from rod
building or running the shop, but could usually be found in the back
of the shop, ready to offer advice or tell some tall tales. He sadly
passed away earlier this year.
Or you could sneak out for an hour or so, and visit Peeters in
Kortenhoef; if you do, give me a holler, and I may just join you
there...
