American Fly Fishing and Kienes to Combine
Here is text of an email I received today ftom American Fly Fishing.
On April 1st American Fly Fishing will be relocated to Kiene's current location at 2752 Marconi Ave, Sacramento. The new fly shop will be "Kiene's American Fly Fishing Co." All of the staff of American Fly Fishing Co. will join Kiene's staff. Kiene's staff will remain in place. I, Gary Eblen, will be the full-time managing partner.
We hope you like what we have planned - beautiful full service retail store, first class ecommerce website, full-time worldwide travel services, robust school program and complete Northern California guide services.We look forward to helping you with your fly fishing needs.
Gary, Stephanie & Staff

If so, an elaborate one, I got the same email.
Also I double-checked and I believe it is still March.

It would be interesting to get a glimpse of the backstory about this guy who is buying up all of these smaller fly shops throughout the west. Rumors abound, none of them very flattering or assuring.

Wow, rumor has it! It is April 1st you know

Yeah, I'm focused on that April 1 date as well.

Kiene empire! Soon to be Kiene's American Flyfishing Specialties Company. Lol
-
The rest of the email was about the American Fly Fishing "moving sale". This makes it seem real.

I'm sure it is, they have downsized a lot and Steve has been buying up lots of shops.

Apparently you don't understand that Kiene's hasn't been "Kiene's" for quite some time. From what I heard the guy who bought Kiene's (and so it seems American) also bought Marriots in Los Angeles, a shop in Colorado, and owns another in Missoula. You might be the April Fool. But then again, I could be wrong.
