Members Troutgod1 Posted November 6, 2009 Members Posted November 6, 2009 Good luck to Michael and Kristina, hope you do well in your future endeavors But maybe this is a good move for those of us that shop in Springfield from time to time I'm up there some taking kin to the Dr. and stuff like that and I have to say I've been in a time or two and there were things missing that I would like to have had, maybe the new owner will fill the gap and put some items in for those of us that can't afford 500.00 + rods I would also like to see some more fly tying items, and maybe some more affordable packs and vests, also a better and a bit cheaper type of wooden net. A nicer selection of 100.00-200.00 reels I just can't afford a 800.00 Able and a 800.00 sage rod, I can buy a 300.00 outfit once in awhile and a 500.00 once evey year or so, but I need variety. I have bought some nice stuff from Michael over the years and it has all been to quality. Maybe the new owner can just make it different, more shopper friendly for those of us on a budget Good luck to the new guy, I'll be in to meet you one of these days, someone will have to go to the Dr. or there is always the dec. christmas shopping trip to the mall Yuck I hate that one Keep the coffee on and I'll be by to do some christmas shopping this year.
Terry Beeson Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 Tim is in the shop today (Friday) so come on by and meet him!!! Oh... and somebody bring donuts...

There's another little place on Campbell with all the $100-$200 rods and reels you could want... Good luck Michael - I was in a time or two and found what I needed. Enjoy the wild trout of Montana!

Aaron J Scott Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 Michael— Congratulations on the news. Thanks for all the help you've given me these last couple of years as I've gotten into fly fishing. Montana is a potential vacation destination next year, so I'll be sure to look you guys up when I'm out there. I look forward to meeting Tim and Becky. Save Scratch, Raise Cash. Fish Itch!
Don Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 Congratulations and thanks for all of the hospitality, advice, fly goods, etc. Best wishes to all of your future endeavors. Keep in touch. Don May I caught you a delicious bass.
zsmith62 Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 Thanks for everything you've done for me, I hate to see you go. I'm sure wherever you wind up you'll have good luck. I hope to meet the new owners soon, I'm sure they'll be great... Zach Smith
