Bill you have built and run a fly shop that even a flyshop hater like myself could love. Very well done my friend, and I wish you a happy fish filled retirement.

I smell a retirement party.
One of these guys knows something about booze and only one hooker.

COngrats w/ your retirement. Now its time to continue that fishing career like when you were a youngster. Fun, games and shit talking.

[Bill Kiene semi-retired]

I bet most of us here had a good childhood doing lots of fun things like hiking, camping, fishing and hunting.

Then you get married and have kids which changes things for you some.

Then through your adult life you are always looking to do those things that you did growing up.

I think retirement is the time to go back to those fun things you remember a a child.

We are doing them with the grandkids now too.

Congrtulations to you both Bill.

[FRSam]

Congratulations Bill...you will be sorely missed...but lord knows you deserve the free time you've earned to spend with your wife, family, friends and fishing! And thank you for your help over the years...you were always so generous with your information and such a pleasure to talk with. Should you ever need a place to stay or a boat to fish Lake Davis by all means shoot me a message.

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU AND MARILYN! I'm sure you'll enjoy all the new found free time with family and friends.

I hope the new ownership can keep the same vibe, class, quality of FF shopping experience, customer service, approachability, sense of family, and sense of a small mom and pop fly shop that you so effortlessly and expertly nurtured at the shop. I have only seen one other fly shop that has come close to recreate what you created at Kienes Fly Shop, and like your shop, the owner's name is on the masthead.

I hope the new ownership can keep the same vibe, class, quality of FF shopping experience, customer service, approachability, sense of family, and sense of a small mom and pop fly shop that you so effortlessly and expertly nurtured at the shop.

Couldn't have said it any better.

Congrats Bill and Marilyn!
