I was amazed with the level of service provided by the staff at this store. My first time in Madison helped me by pointing me in the right direction on some flies for Bass, Striper, and Carp fishing. Bo also assisted me with some feedback on a few fly rods and general fly fishing knowledge. I had a good couple of days fishing but lost a few of my new flies.

Additionally, Tailwaters' bar and weekend events add a delightful touch...
Read moreStopped by to get information about fly fishing lessons for my sons today and the staff was incredible! I had to drag my sons into the shop because they were not excited about learning about fly fishing, however, once they were there, they felt so welcome that they did not want to leave!
