I've checked this board before but I just signed on and it's my first post.

By way of background, I come from prairie Canada (Manitoba) where the ffing options lean more to warm-water species - pike, bass (smallmouth, white,) channel cats (we have one of the best sport fisheries in the world.), carp, walleye, lake whitefish etc. We also have some excellent stillwater trout opportunities (folks from Montana, and even Wy. and Col. have become regular visitors) but I don't seem to get to those parts of the province much these days.

To the point of my post: my family is dragging me to Phoenix for a week and, given their itinerary, I've given up the chance of trying some fishing, but I wouldn't mind checking out some good fly shops. Any suggestions for the Phoenix area?
