Angler's Lie fly shop

[joe e.]

After a terrible blow to the flyfishing community in va. with the closing of the Angler's Lie it has been brought to my attention that the Anglers Lie has been purchased by the Urban Angler from N.Y. Grizz and Allen Short will take the helm both of which are colorful and well traveled flyfishermen, rod builders and tiers. Allen ties bass bugs that would rival Whitlock. Grizz as most know builds bamboo rods quite eligently I must admit. March is the opening with a grand opening in may. The fall of the small flyshops over the years has been horrendous and I commend the Urban Angler's for their concern of our affairs in wash d.c.
I shall support them with my hard earned dollars, and any spare change my kids fail to find.
more to come and very good news at that.

That's good to know. I hope they get a little more personable then before. Would've probably shopped with them more often but they didn't try to make you feel at ease, like you were below them.

Good news, about Urban Angler taking over. I had heard that rumor before but good to see that it is looking like it will come to pass.

This is a good time to remind everyone, including myself, to support these fly specialty shops because without our support they will go away.

when is the new shop going to open? hopefully in time for spring!

Grizz said sometime in march, tying classes, seminars with charter captains, casting classes and more to do. He also asked about getting a list of tying material and hooks that anyone would like to have available. He wants input of what type of flyfishing his customer base wants to see in the shop.

where is Newell going? I think that Grizz should remember me from the AFFTA congressional casting call at Fletchers Boat house in DC. They would put on tying demos and Grizz was....was Grizz. He was hermetically sealed to Newell so that is why I am interested am surprised that he is on his own.

Thin k Newell and his lovely bride have moved on - businesswise. They still live in Arlington. Grizz was and will always be Grizz....good to hear that he has a new home. Also great news that there will be a fly shop in Arlington.
