I went into the desert fly angler and met the owner. My knowledge of fly fiahing and the area was rusty at best. The owner would only answer questions asked and otherwise would avoid any direct conversation. 4 men entered that were paying for his "back wall" private lake the next day and without a word he moved to them. After 20 minutes of being ignored i was ready to leave and never come back. I politely told him i was unhappy with his aloofness and dismissive behavior. At this point he screamed "get out f@!!! Face!" And proceeded to slam the door against my backside. I had never been treated in such a way and will certainly never be back. I was going to spend thousands. I'll buy elsewhere. Another fly snob.

I have fished with the owner Darc and he is a great fisherman and he makes fishing fun and never makes you feel like an idiot for not knowing something about fishing. He isn't a typical fly fishing snob, he respects all fishing, just prefers fly fishing. A good down to earth guy with a great fly shop. The vending machine is a great way to get gear when the store is closed. Great idea!
