Bass Pro Shops...It's Coming...
Noticed the other day that they have really started to clear quite a bit of land for the new Bass Pro Shops that is coming to the Jacksonville, FL area in "early 2014." Announced last December, it finally looks like that project is accelerating (and is coincidentally only 10 or 15 minutes from my house). Since BPS's forte has never been fly fishing, I don't really view it as a threat to Black Fly Outfitters, but will be interesting to see what they bring to the hook & feather table.

Article: Bluegill Fishing On The Fly
"...Redbreasts are more of a North Florida native than the other species. My personal experience is limited to the St. Johns River, where I occasionally catch them, along with shellcrackers, while fishing for American shad...they’re both feisty and beautiful and they fall for the same subsurface patterns as shellcrackers..."
