Our shop is a bit different and unique, we think.

First, the Fly Shop is located within the Carlton General Store (over 105 years old) and 500 feet across the street from one of the rivers few legal put-in/take-out boat launch access points on the Methow River.  This state river access has the finest swimming hole with sandy beaches on all of the Methow River.  Dusk wade fishing can be real good here!

 

All the Montana flies, Spirit River, Idlewylde and Solitude flies patterns have been individually selected specifically for the trout and steelhead in the Methow River.  Many of our patterns will cross over to the Columbia River (22 miles away) and surrounding local local lakes.  We took dozens of hours to go through each and every fly pattern presented us to complete our selections providing you with hundreds of patterns now in stock.  


We are an authorized TFO, Reddington, RIO, SA, SAGE dealer....plus most all others you find at the large corporate stores.  And our priced match or are lower than these BIG stores...compare us!

We believe we have the best quality flies, broadest selections and unique patterns anywhere in the region to supplement your fly collection and to specifically set you up for the Methow River trout and steelhead.
