For San Diego and its fly fishers, Stroud is an institution.

If you are a novice ask him questions, and he will tell you everything you'd need to know. Be careful about making friends here because you end up joining the fly fishing club and you are forever hooked on fly fishing. Many victims have fell into that scheme of things - including me!

Rick is a man of deep and practical knowledge, especially when it comes to fly fishing and fly…read moretying as well. For those new to fly fishing and seeking thoughtful, affordable guidance, he is someone worth listening to. His recommendations are never generic, they are shaped by water, tide, season, and lived experience. From halibut in the surf to cruising perch along the shoreline, he understands both the fish and the conditions that shape them. From fishing to tying, he has what you need; and if he does not, he will make sure it finds its way to you. And if he cannot join you on the water himself, chances are he knows someone who can. In a sport built on patience, trust, and quiet understanding, Rick is one of those rare people who helps others find their footing without pretense. And sometimes, even when you need nothing at all, it is still worth stopping by, for the conversation, and for a good laugh.

Got everything set up the way I wanted it and charged a very fair price. Super nice and professional guy that takes his time to get things done right. This shop will definitely be my go to for any kayak needs.

I was in OB this weekend riding around and I got a flat rear tire on my ebike. Called them and…read morethey said they didn't have my tube size. Luckily I had a spare tube, but unluckily I didn't have my 18mm wrench to remove the rear wheel. They said they could do it, and I dropped the bike off. They closed in two hours and said it would be done by 5. Walked by about an hour later (no call), and the bike was in the store and done. Go inside and no one was in the store, but I heard someone in the back. After a few minutes we looked in the back and asked if the bike was done. It was, and it was $20 for the fix. I was happy with that! Started riding out of OB, and by the time we hit Morena area, something felt off. Looked down and the tire looked soft. Within 5 more minutes it was dead flat. Had to call for a ride all the way back home. Today I looked at the tire closely with a flashlight and saw that they never removed the tiny piece of metal in the tire that caused the flat. Took the wheel off and put pressure in the tube, only to find the leak was on the inner (rim side) of the tube. Nothing sharp on the rim, so they must have messed up on the install. Why replace a tube and not inspect the tire? And a bike shop that installs a tube wrong that causes a flat? Gave this place 2 stars just for the fact that I'm only out $20
