From Day One to Cast One—Thank You
Opening a fly shop is a leap of faith. You hope people will show up, believe in your vision, and feel something when they walk through the door.
Thanks to you, our first year at Lightweight Fly Shop was more than we imagined. You didn’t just stop by—you supported us, spread the word, brought your friends, and helped turn a brand-new shop into a real fly fishing home base.
We’re beyond grateful.
Highlights from Year One 🎣
-
Welcomed top brands like St. Croix Fly Rods, Grndéns, Bozeman Flyworks, Montana Fly Company, Bajío and many more!
-
Introduced original art from Jodi Monahan
-
Helped first-timers pick their very first fly rod
-
Swapped stories and fishing reports over the counter, and on the river
-
Stocked some killer flies, art, and gear we were proud to share
But more than anything—we got to meet you, the anglers, artists, guides, and river lovers who made this dream real.
You Made It All Possible
You chose to shop small, to stay local, and to support a brand-new business built on passion—not profit. That support doesn't just mean the world to us—it keeps us here.
Because when you shop at Lightweight, you’re not just buying gear. You’re investing in…
-
The next generation of anglers
-
Artists who tell the story of the water
-
A space where anyone can walk in and feel welcome
And for that—we say thank you.
Looking Ahead to 2026
We’ve got big plans for next year—more gear, more art, more connection, and more community events.
But before we get there, we just want to pause and say:
You made this happen. You showed up. You made year one unforgettable.
Wishing You Tight Lines and Warm Moments
Whether you’re still chasing winter fish or tying flies by the fire, we hope this season brings you peace, joy, and maybe a little time on the water.
From our fly shop family to yours—thank you for believing in us. Here’s to the next cast, the next hatch, and the next year together.
🎄 Happy Holidays from Lightweight Fly Shop.
