Another one bites the dust!
So what happens when Gander Mountain and The Sportsman's Warehouse move into town but your guide business is busting open a the seams? You leave Orvis to deal with it and fish! I visited Blue Ridge Fly Fisher's yesterday in Roanoke, VA and unfortunately they are closing their doors over the next couple of weeks. After driving around for 4 hours and finding that 3 other shops in the area have closed as well, I am really starting to understand all the fuss over this issue..Marinate

I always think it is sad when the local, hometown stores are driven out of business by the chain stores. We've had that happen where I live too.
