Readers' Pick
There’s a short list of prerequisites for becoming a true local-things like owning a dog, driving a Subaru, growing facial hair (men only, please) and slinging at least one young child to your back with some sort of wrapped fabric. But tops on the list must be the ability to semi-deftly cast a fly into a river. If you find yourself lacking in this department-and, really, who couldn’t use a little guidance when it comes to the art of fly-fishing?-then put down the kid, hop into your Subaru and get over to the Kingfisher Fly Shop. These expert outfitters can tell you what’s biting what, why, and where. Last time we strolled in and showed off a sweet photo of our latest catch, they even dispensed some extra advice: Hold the fish closer to the camera for a better effect and, for goodness sakes, shave.
