I hate Orvis sometimes

If the store "sat in a fairly high traffic affluent area" and was barely
making
it then I'd say Orvis isn't their problem, it's their 'loyal' customers.


It would be if Orvis was going to cut them off for the sake of the new
store.

Stevie is closer to right, I was suprised to find one fly shop in Indy, much
less two. I do not know and will not know all the details for the decision,
with the other fly shop in town stocking almost everything else except
Orvis, there was not much of an opportunity to diversify. And while it sat
in an affluent area, it did not sit a major shopping area, unless you
consider a bunch of car dealerships a major shopping area.

How are the GA streams?

I think that the problem is that affluent people do not have time to
fish. It used to be that "blue collar" workers worked all of the time
and "white collar" staff worked nine-to-five, now the opposite is true.
I know very few "white collar" people that work less than fifty-hours
a week--with more and more working sixty-plus! Couple the long hours
with a spouse that also works, overscheduled kids, and the exurban
three-plus acre lawn to cut + other chores, and it is not hard to see
that "affluent" people do not have time to fish!

As an aside: my twins are four years old and they can read and write
already, which I think is insane! We were informed that our children
would be behind if they had not developed basic reading and writing
skills by the time they enter kindergarten in the fall (they will not be
five years old until the fall). I guess that this stance must be part
of “No Child Left Behind.” All I can say is I am glad that I had the
opportunity to be a kid!

Fishing pretty well lately, as are the ones in western NC. Some of them got a
lot of junk from last year's hurricanes.
