Adam F. was just in this Monday checking out the Gunpowder and stopped by the shop to tell me that he landed a nice 14″ brown above Falls Rd. Before giving me an update on a great Summer of guiding in Alaska, he related that Winchester Creek Outfitter’s in Grasonville, Maryland was closing it’s doors. Talk on the South East Fly Fishing Forum was also full of banter about another local shop “lost”. I gave the shop a call the same afternoon and spoke to Dr. Ron Franks for a while about his heartfelt decision to close the shop. Ron indicated that the shop will be closing by the first of the year. My condolences go out to Ron Franks and the crew. If you’re in the Annapolis area during the holidays, consider stopping in and thanking them for their many years of service to the fly fishing community.
