Once I picked it out I started to do a little window shopping, the woman at the counter saw me and apologized for not greeting me when I walked in.... In a world where give you vacant, here was a sincere apology for not welcoming me. I could have bought it online for $45 (plus shipping). I paid $50 and had it. In the last 10 years there are new owners, and definitely the same great service and possibly better prices. If you shop enough you could find things cheaper -- somewhere --- but you won't match the service. One of the things I like the best about Blue Line (no one says 'Sports Shop') is that for a small store, family owned, they usually give you a couple choice --- high end and cheaper May 2013: Have to revisit this, went in expecting to by a 2/3 wt fly reel. I had talked to (learned later) the owner on the phone and he implied there was a reel in the store. There wasn't. I asked the gentleman for a spool price, to order, and he said only the owner was allowed to give that out.... not the best way to do service

But what about those three guys who either had no mask at all or had it flopped down around their neck? Why would they rather endanger customers than kill this virus and get us back to normal?

I've never been to a marine supply store before, so I didn't know what to expect walking in to West Marine. I was helped by Peter who was so friendly and knowledgeable that I had to write this review.

He also told me about Small Boat Repair on route 7 to look for used paddles. Happy I checked this spot out first though. Thanks Peter!

Every time I asked a question (price check, info etc) he looked annoyed as if I distracted him from more important things... When I told him that a smile would be nice, he took offense and when I showed up at the cash to pay, he obviously ignored me and passed all other customers before us, even if they just showed up at the cash... he did that on purpose. Good that Peter was there and was super nice, if it was not for him I would have let my 350$ purchase there.

Upper Valley Outfitters is the only dedicated fly fishing store you're likely to find anywhere in…read morethe Upper Valley, an area where the waters are big and plentiful but the fishing shops seem suspiciously scarce. Apparently most people in the Upper Valley are making their hooks out of old straight pins. Staff at UVO are extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and their fly selection is awesome. Hand tied flies here are affordable compared to other fly shops I'm used to, and they conveniently keep a bunch of proven local patterns that are in season right near the register so you can run in, get what you need for that afternoon, and run out. UVO staff will help you find local waters to fish in and help you figure out times of day to fish them. Be careful of the Connecticut and White Rivers rising on hot summer afternoons when they have to generate more hydroelectric power, as the pool you waded into might suddenly become too deep to wade out of! Also, when you get to the area and find out the felt-soled wading boots you brought from home are illegal here, this is where you'll need to go to remedy the situation. There is an excellent supply of fly tying materials available at UVO, and they deal in Hardy, St. Croix, and a number of other top-name rods and reels. If I lived in the Upper Valley, I'd probably hang out in this place once a week or so. The only thing I don't like about UVO is that they don't sell Vermont fishing licenses even though they're so close to the VT border. The way the state makes them available to vendors is apparently more trouble than it's worth, which is why it's so hard to find anywhere to get a license on the Vermont side of the Upper Valley. None of this, of course, is UVO's fault. So, if you're planning a fishing getaway in the Upper Valley, make sure to know where this place is and how to get here beforehand, because this resource is invaluable and necessary. I even caught fish on the flies they sold me here, which means they're not just selling pretty trinkets that only people like. Happy fishing!
