In today's Austin paper (front page, no less) was the news that the
venerable flyfishing shop, The Austin Angler, will be closing down July
31.

It's sad when that happens, but the days of moms and pops building/maintaining
shops with a ". . .and they will come" mentality and getting positive results
are a thing of the past. We've experienced the same thing in this area with
several shops either folding or severely cutting back their stock of supplies.
Even chains like Dick's Sporting Goods have discontinued carrying tying
supplies. Almost all of my tying stuff and most other fishing gear are now
either bought at shows or on line.
