Hi Scott.
We have five brick and mortar fly shops on our side of the hill and four more ( if you include the two big boxes like Cabela's ) on the other side of the hill, all lay between twenty five minutes to an hour and forty-five minutes from here. ( Out west, that's still in the neighborhood. )
More and more I go to the internet, simply because of the variety of readily available inventory, much of which we'll never see in our homogenized fly shops of today.
Fly shops around here are like McDonalds, traveling from one to the next, you might see a small change in the staff and decor, but the menu is always the same.
Best, Dave
