The name of the new shop is going back to Kiene's Fly Shop!

I guess after some research they found out that the old name had lots of recognition in the fly fishing world.

It will also be easier to find us when folks start looking this summer.

We have the same old staff with a few new people and a larger building (7,000 sq ft plus) with more inventory.

The new shop is only about 100 yards to the east @ 2752 Marconi Avenue.

Open 7 days a week

M-F 10-6
Sat 9-5
Sun 10-4

Local phone = 916/486-9958
Toll free USA = 800/400-0359

Haha! That's awesome Bill! You are royalty! I think the quote is from Gladiator... "You have the great name" :)

[Ed Wahl]

Yay! Sometimes research will turn up the obvious.

That's great news, I know many on this forum thought it was risky to change the name, but sometimes trial and error will show the outcome.

I think the new sign out front should be up today.

What made our shop name known was all of you loyal message board members.......thanks.

Also thanks to our past manager, Alan Barnard, for starting the message board years ago and thanks to Greg Machel for keeping it going and up to date.

A web info company told us that our web site (mostly our message board) is one of the most popular fly fishing Internet destination.


Hope some of you BB folks can make the Expo today.

Nice! They could call it whatever they wanted, but to me at least, it was always going to be Kiene's regardless of its new name.
