"Where the Fishing and Life Advice are Free"
Since 1956
Founded in 1956 by Mac Ford the vision was cast and passed on to Dale Miller in 1984. Dale crafted the iconic shop that we all know and love and still maintains his standing today. By 2020 the honor to see the vision through for a new generation of outdoorsman in the Eastern Sierra was presented and accepted by me. We will continue to offer quality gear and advice in addition to adapting to the changing tactics and technologies that help you catch fish.
