Mike Davis Posted January 1, 2010 Author Posted January 1, 2010 It's not going to be a fun couple weeks. Watching this really hurts. Mike I went to buy batteries but they weren't included. Steven Wright
Zack Hoyt Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 Truly hate to hear this Mike. It is bad enough seeing small businesses going down, but a fly shop is an institution. Zack Hoyt OAF Contributor Flies, Lies, and Other Diversions

Terry Beeson Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 Mike, Any word on WHY they are closing? Is the business there that bad? I know it's been a slow year, but still... Sure hate to hear this. I think you should go ahead and buy it and keep it going. That'll keep you out of trouble...

Mike Davis Posted January 2, 2010 Author Posted January 2, 2010 It's really that bad. High water for 3 out of the 4 years it's been open hasn't helped. The majority of their customers are wade fisher folks too. Not much fun watching an "extended family" pack up. Mike I went to buy batteries but they weren't included. Steven Wright
Greg Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Very sad. I think all the high water has hurt a lot of the fly shops in other areas of Arkansas and MO too. Mike - is there another fly shop around Heber Springs? Greg "My biggest worry is that my wife (when I'm dead) will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it" - Koos Brandt Greg Mitchell
Mike Davis Posted January 4, 2010 Author Posted January 4, 2010 There's one just down the road but they're not doing well either and have turned into a more of a destination type place. Looks Like mail order for me. Either that or drive to Mountain Home. Mike I went to buy batteries but they weren't included. Steven Wright
