The shop itself is well stocked to support fly fishing on the Gunpowder River, but also has flies and gear for larger freshwater and saltwater fish. Everyone is very knowledgeable.I also booked a trip with the shop's main guide Jeff Brennan. He took us out on the Gunpowder and did an excellent job teaching our group, beginner to advanced intermediate fly anglers, wet-fly/nymphing and streamer techniques. We caught good numbers of brown trout as well as fallfish and suckers. Cannot recommend more highly his guiding work as an instructor, trip leader and teacher of the Gunpowder system.

Great fly shop. Welcoming attitudes from the folks behind the counter, accommodating and a wealth of information.

We just got off the Gunpowder after an incredibly fun day with our guide Jeff. It was easy to learn from a guy who has fly fished for 30+ years and clearly loves it!! The entire experience- from the minute we set foot in the shop to our last goodbye- was welcoming, informative, professional yet personable. A+++ We can't wait for our next outing!

I am new to fly fishing and walked in Great Feathers a few weeks ago with hardly any knowledge of what I needed. This is a great shop and they helped me navigate all available options with great patience. Vernon helped me pick out what I needed and what I didn’t, even taking my local fishing spot into consideration and letting me know what is necessary and what can wait until a later time.I am very glad to have stumbled on this little shop as their service is truly unmatched. As a hunter, I often buy items off the web and do my share of self research. However, with fly fishing- I have quickly learned there is no online match for the in-person service from Great Feathers. I simply will not go anywhere else for guidance and purchasing equipment.

My wife and I got a fly fishing lesson with Seth. It was a perfect Saturday morning. We learned a lot from him and had a wonderful time.

Just up from Texas for a quick trip to visit family. Booked a half day of fishing on the Gunpowder. Michael showed us a fantastic time. I'd never fly-fished before, and he took me under his wing. What a tremendous experience.

Mike and Great Feathers have been my go to shop for everything outdoors in Sparks and beyond for over two decades now. I've been coming to the store consistently to chat about what's biting and different adventure spots. Not to mention I'm always supplied at a great price! Thanks for everything Mr. Watriss!!

I took their beginner fly fishing class today. Mike is very knowledgeable and is truly passionate about his work. 5 minutes into casting lessons and Coach identified a nagging problem I had in my cast. Not only did he identify it but he easily related it to other sports motions I was familiar with to make correcting my cast simple. I love the store and the lessons are well worth your time.

I didnt purchase anything but stopped in for some guidance of the local fishing areas and where to access the Gunpowder.Mike was awesome, Mom and Pop shop vibes. Their pictures suggest a robust community!Any questions about fishing in the area, or more specifically fly fishing, they'll be your best bet for information.
