100% awesome store!
I can say that I dealt with this shop for many years, although I live in western Canada. I highly recommend Dave Townsend as trust worthy person regardless the distance you are shopping from.

During a recent purchase
During a recent purchase, I was impressed by their outstanding communication. I successfully negotiated great deals on a few vintage fly fishing pieces. They were shipped promptly and packaged well. As a repeat customer, I highly recommend Thomas Turner.
