Joe has been a good friend of ours for years. One of his books,
“Trout Tactics” was an inspiration to many of us in the early
1980’s. This is one of the best books ever written about fly fishing
for trout. Joe lives near State College, Pennsylvania. He was
fishing on one of the local streams when he was younger and he met an
older gentleman named George Harvey. George helped Joe and they
became friends. George taught fly fishing at Penn State University.
Later Joe would do the same. Joe has written some excellent books on
fly fishing for trout. He has filmed numerous television shows and
has become one of the most recognized fly fisherman in the world. He
will be available to meet you and teach you some valuable fly fishing
techniques all weekend. And there no charge. It’s all free.
Frank Bryant is another close friend. He is President of Chota
Outdoor Gear and he has been fly fishing and paddling canoes for over
40 years. His company is headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee. He
is a designer and inventor. We remember when he decided to design
and sell wading shoes. His products came to the market and we
started selling them in huge numbers. One thing our customers liked
is the comfort level. These shoes just felt good. Since then Frank
has been designing more shoes and waders. They are excellent. We
think you should meet Frank, hear his story and take a close look at
his products.
Frank and Joe met last year at our store and they have become
friends. They just spent three days together in California and they
plan to fish together this weekend in May. This will be a great
event. Plan on spending the weekend in Townsend.
