The New Simms at The Rivers Edge

#1

Post by Hellmtflies »

For those of you who have visited the Bozeman area over the years and are thinking about returning. For those who have a visit here on their wish list. The iconic Rivers Edge Fly Shop on north 7th is moving to a downtown location. I have no financial interest in this company but like many of you I've been a customer for years. The owners are two of the most accommodating folks to work with and I wish them good fortune in their new endeavor. So, check out the full article attached.

Ya I saw the new store, there are now 2 fly shops within a 5 minute walk from my house. I have always liked the rivers edge, and have friends who guided for them for years. They are one of the best shops in the valley and always great to work with. I wish them all the best in the new venture with Simms. Now when I walk with the kids to the library I can check out the new gear! like I need anymore fly fishing gear...

The chronicle article is right next to the story of another idiot who fell into old faithful...even with the park closed people are doing stupid &%^$.

Nope they are both great.
The Montana Angler is about 1/2 a block away from the new Rivers Edge. I am a fly tying material buyer only, as I guide my own bad self, fish bamboo, and shops don't sell 19th and 20th century English fly reels. For materials I prefer the Bozeman Family Fly Shop, they have the selection, prices, and service which is unrivaled in Bozeangles. We now have over a dozen very good fly shops in the valley so no one is wanting for fishing gear.

Ditto! On The Bozeman Family Fly Shop. That's the place in Bozangeles for materials today.

My chopped liver quote was in reference to "The owners are two of the most accommodating folks to work with and I wish them good fortune in their new endeavor."

There's three owners of the River's Edge: Dan, Steve, Daniel. Great guys.
