CrossWaterCreek Outfitters — Local services in Lafayette

I'm a Local to Walnut Creek and stopped in to say hello and to support a new local fly shop. I've been around fly fishing for many years and have visited a bunch of fly shops in my time. This one stands high on the list.

Patrick, the owner, welcomed us into the shop, asked how he could help, and got us pointed in the right direction for the trip I have upcoming this weekend to chase coastal cutthroat.

Great selection of flies, gear, tying materials, and apparel. I purposefully avoided looking at rods because I have 'enough' rods for now...'probably'*

*the use of 'enough' and 'probably' in this instance - as most anglers will agree - translates to 'that particular day'

In addition to asking about my upcoming trip, Patrick offered some specifics on flies that might work up north given that specific water and the weather we're expecting, as he'd fished there in the past and knew where I am headed. Always a bonus!

Speaking of bonuses, Patrick sells Christopher Elbow chocolates in the shop. Christopher Elbow is a friend to the business and an avid/passionate fly angler, so the fit makes total sense.

Thanks for the warm welcome, Patrick. We'll see...

I love a good fly shop and this one has all the fly shop products. But it has even more- this is the only fly shop I have found women’s clothing consisting of more than one rack. I bought great clothes, flies, leaders, fly box and some yummy chocolate. Such a good time. Highly recommend to all anglers but especially to...

Was surprised to learn that there was a fly shop in Lafayette that is walking distance from where I live. If you are a fly fisherman or want to get into fly fishing - give them a visit. They have a lot of gear and product (and fly tying supplies!) for whatever you want to pursue. And the owners are very nice...
