When Cabela's opened here in Utah (a year ago or so) the fly fishing dept was set into action by hiring LANCE EGAN and RYAN BARNES for managers. Two names you will see and hear a lot about. They know who to hire for sure. One of the sales clerks Devin even works as a guide at the same lodge I do.
They looked around to find the best of the best to work their store. I always enjoy going in and talking to the fine sales staff, but I still freaquent the small specialty stores and Sportsmen's Warehouse.
