Captain James...The Cam Sigler flies you recommended were awesome! We caught several sailfish and had a great time! Thanks again for your efforts in getting those flies to us in-time. The show should air on the Sportsman Channel the first week in April if you want to check it out!

"Dear Mr. Cochran,
I had a wonderful time Tuesday in your store. Your store is very nicely setup. I enjoyed seeing your fantastic paintings.
I am a fly fishing beginner and Cody and Randy took excellent care of me even showing me where to fish. (I am familiar with sight fishing near Cedar Key but not in the Jacksonville area).
They both showed me small crab imitations that will work for "Cracker Permit" (sheepshead). I am determined to catch one that is tailing.
I found your store to be competitive with online resources and the info I received made it more than worthwhile. I know your store is a high-end store, thanks also for catering to folks like me. Further more I support small American businesses.
The icing on the cake was visiting the Blackfly Restaurant where a friend and myself had a sumptuous dinner. Also nicely priced considering your are served a gourmet meal".
Thank You,
Dave
