Ah I remember the Des Moines shop well. I bought an Orvis stripping basket that I still use and love today!!!

I am confused. Did you not see fly fish Dan's video timed before the closing of Anil's shop before it closed? If I remember Fly Fish Dan was very complementary of Anil and seemed sad to see Anil's plans to shut the shop down.

Even better if he worked with Anil who was a master of treating his customers well. I eagerly await the opening.

I used to fish a super secret creek near soap lake just about every month of the year. Snow and cold was my favorite, especially new powder snow. I could see where other fisherpeople had harassed fish by their foot prints. So I avoided that and made my own tracks to o slightly less pressured...

Hey Steve, nice running into you. i Got lucky and found a few fiesty fish near sunset. Man I miss the balmy summer weather, especially now with the snow slush rain. Great to share skinny water and BS with you. Hope we run into each other next summer wet wading.

Fished afternoon yesterday in site of Narrows bridge. Rained entire time. Not one bite and saw no jumpers. Just good to be on peaceful waters. Always amazes me how the grey waters match the gray skies

You are a legend here. Have you thought about opening a shop or buying out Anil's shop here in Tacoma?

Maybe someone like Dave at the West Seattle fly shop could lease the space? Rename it Tacoma fly shop? Or the owner of Gig Harbor fly shop and re name it Gig Harbor East (just kidding) There is no replacement for Anil and crew, but man I am going to miss his service close to me. Maybe...

Wow Big loss for anyone who loves fly fishing. I started receiving excellent, friendly advice and products from Anil and Clark when they opened up in Federal Way. Followed them to their shop in Tacoma. Sad when Clark left, but glad he is in the family business selling tractors and mowers...

My buddy just texted me an Instagram post with disturbing news of the future of Anil's shop. I am hoping this is a fake or disinformation. Does anyone know what is going on?

My son is growing up . He will graduate from college next summer. As a kid, I produced check lists his packing for camping and/or fishing trips. He is taking me backpacking for my first time tomorrow. Just got a backpack packing list from HIM. Ha Ha. Tides are turned I am so proud...

Cool. Looks like you had 😊

Van not suitable for sleeping in. I gotta change out the old mildewy wood floor and carpet in the last 3 feet of flooring. It used to get wet from rain blowing in during Mt days as a sewer cleaner

Stan Coffin was colored up bad. Lots of aquatic growth. I lied about no fish to the boat cause I landed an approx 4 inch pan fish at Stan Coffin. How did the regs change? This was my first time on any of the lakes.
