I see Stow's point. Many of the shops sell high end stuff and if you come in to buy something on a limited budget you get treated as such.
I found recently that a certain high end company that sells flies for $2 each get their stock from a 3rd world country.
Before I pay $2 each for 3rd world flies I'll hit the internet and buy a American made fly for half the price or less!
The internet has hurt many local small business's.
With gas prices up and many PPL's wages down what is a person to do?
For many...either give up Fly Fishing or bargain hunt.

Heat bills up....Gas prices....taxes up....Jobs going from full time to part time employees. Companies farming out over seas.
It hurts us ALL both Business and Consumer!!

Gov't needs to help us HERE not give our $$$ and jobs away to other countries!

I'm off my soap box now

I caught a Fish so big once I couldn't weigh it.
Took a picture of it and the picture weighed 20LBS! (My Dad)
