Much to the sadness of those of us who live in the Eureka area...Mike Kaczynski ( just a guess at spelling of name ) of "Eureka Fly Shop ' is retiring......... Mike gave us a first class inventory of fly fishing "stuff" in this small town of Eureka for years......
I don't know how long Mike was in business ,,but I do remember a few of my friends lent Mike $10,000 each to help open his first shop across from the post office on H street . .. Mike outgrew that location in a short time...he also paid back all the creditors in a short period of time...
Mike shop will be missed by the fly fishermen in the Eureka area .. I think (?) I over heard him telling someone he would still continue guiding on the Klamath River ,,,where he is regarded as the best guide on the river... We will all miss his up dates on the fishing reports his knowledge of fishing and tying ...
Thanks Mike You taught many of us how to tie flies how to fish how to appreciate the rivers..
........... A side personal story........... one can buy flies at Mikes for about $1.85 a fly........ Because of all the "stuff" Mike convinced me I just had to have $300 vices, $80 capes. 26 different color threads, 9-10 different bobbins . I now have the cost of my flies down to about $6 a fly THANKS MIKE !!!!
