I'm a mediocre fly fisherman. I fish a lot, but where I live it's a lot more gear fishing (bass,…read moresalmon, etc.). I recently bought a cheap Orvis flyrod off of Craigslist and it wasn't fishing very well, so I took it in to Deschutes Canyon Fly Shop. The owner was extremely patient and helpful with a newbie like me. He pointed me in the direction of some good flies that would be productive, he re-rigged my line so it was fishing a LOT smoother, and he was even willing to teach me a few new knots. I think my photos speak for themselves, but he got me from Skunkville to actually catching on a fly rod, so I can't argue with the results. Seriously though, great owner and great shop. Highly recommend!

Shortt Supply is a business to be avoided. This business changed ownership recently and it is not…read morewhat it once was; an owner that stood behind their products and valued their customers. Last August I purchased a $150 pair of Topo Athletic shoes from Shortt. The purchase and fitting experience were exemplary. I have worn them occasionally since then approximately once a week for exercise walking. Recently I noticed that both shoes were abrading a hole at the same location on the inside collar. A call to the manufacturer directed me to the dealer to resolve the problem. On my visit to Shortt I was directed to the manager. It was clear from our first interaction that Shortt would not make any effort to resolve the defect in the product. To add insult to injury, after confirming that the shoes had not been subject to excess wear, I was told that I was at fault in my manner of walking despite 70 years of not having a similar issue with any shoe. No relief was offered. While Shortt has a wealth of excellent apparel, shoes and accessories at premium prices, they clearly have no interest in standing behind their products or making any effort at customer service. This is a business that knows it can overcharge tourists who will never be around to seek a remedy for a faulty product. There are several other reputable shoe options in the Gorge and you should give them your business.

For a neighborhood store, its impressive the amount of inventory they have, both in terms of…read morevariety and options within each category. First time I shopped here years ago was because I needed a good pair of walking shoes with arch and heal support. Those working here know what they are doing. They don't just recommend shoes, they fit you for the pair that best meets your specific needs and fits you properly. For anyone who has suffers from foot or knee pain, you know how life changing a properly fitted pair of shoes can be! In addition to a robust shoe, sneaker, running shoe, hiking boot area, Shortt's has all of your camping needs covered. Tents, sleeping bags, outdoor cooking equipment, dehydrated food, small cook stoves and more. They carry every color and size Hydro Flask and totes and coolers, too. Jackets, rain gear, hats, caps, swimsuits, sunglasses, clothing, waterproof pants and tops, maps, books - they have it all. The only section that I wish was more robust is the swim section. I swim an hour a day and while they had a few swimsuits, goggles and swim caps, I was looking for a mesh bag to carry my swim fins, gloves and goggles. They had three TYR bags but they were super bright neon colors and I want something more subtle. This is a family run business and they are all about personal service and as a result, when the store is crowded it can be challenging to get assistance because those working there definitely give full attention to the person they are widening with. It's worth the trade off. Definitely recommend.

Wow , they really know how to pack it in! This store has a relatively small footprint but carries a…read morevast amount of inventory. As soon as you walk in, it hits you! In a good way. I am seriously impressed with how they somehow manage to organize the enormous assortment of product across so many sporting categories. Hinting, fishing, camping, basketball, baseball, soccer, tennis, swimming, boxing, frisbee, kayaking, running, hiking, skateboarding - yes, it's there! Plus athletic and camping clothing and accessories for men, women and children. Needing a new pair of goggles, I wandered in and knew immediately that without asking for assistance, there was no way I would find them! But no worries, I was greeted instantly and asked if I needed help finding something. The goggles were in the back right corner so it gave me an opp wander the aisles and make a mental note of inventory. I'm in Hood River a lot so often take a ride to The Dalles when I need to run errands. We are so fortunate to have this store for most, if not all, of our sporting needs. located right in the shopping center next to Safeway, it's easy to find and lots of parking.

But suddenly "They aren't buying anything, the owner is gone for a month" when the last employee called the owner and did everything to try and help, only reason they didn't buy it was because it conflicted with something regarding rights to sell said item.
