No, his name was Doug Park. A short Asian dude. Maybe the shop had a different name. I know it was on Clement St. I went there a number of times. He use to carry a lot of unusual materials, like JC...back when it was illegal
I tied a few flies for Western Sports and another shop that was in the area.
I'm trying to remember the name of the sporting goods shop in the Palo Alto area. This is where I met Brent Dawson' dad and started teaching Brent how to tie.
Smiths? It was just closing when I started working in PA.
SF Fly Shop was definitely on Clement St. I suppose Doug Park could have been a previous owner. I dunno. Doug Matteo was an owner when I was going there. Doug Matteo was (is) a short, non-Asian dude (but big personality and even bigger attitude!). Glasses and a big mustache.
There used to be a shop in Los Altos called "The Midge Fly Shop". Not exactly Palo Alto but sorta close.
“Behind mountains, more mountains.” - Haitian proverb
The midge was owned by Dave Beronio.
Actually, the word is "heyday" and has nothing to do with hay, the dried grass that is used as animal feed. Dictionary definition: Heyday = the period of one's greatest popularity, vigor, or prosperity
Thanks.......I will change it.
