Tuckaseegee Fly Shop, Bryson City

After losing my trusty, beloved fly box (full of flies) in the Tuckaseegee, I stopped here to do some restocking. They were super-friendly, helpful, and very patient! Dale Collins was working that day. Not only did he take his time to tell me how they had been catching fish in the days prior, I handed my TFO fly rod to him because it wasn't spooled or braking correctly. He figured out what the problem was, explained things to me and fixed the problem (I did help with a little of the repair, as best I could). 😏 I will be returning to Bryson City and Tackaseegee Fly Shop will always be a haunt when I'm there! Next time I'll get a guided trip or two from them too! (P.S. Two days later some campers we had met at the Grumpy Bear Campground went tubing with the sole intention of finding my lost fly box. I didn't know this until they surprised me with it after they found it!!)

Visited Bryson City 2 weekends ago for some fly fishing. Although it poured all weekend, Elijah gave us some good tips and suggested a particular black nymph and purple grub that ultimately landed us 5 brookies on the Nantahala lower, all within 2 hours of our departure from town.
