Since launching SmithFly in 2010, owner Ethan Smith has won awards for his creative and groundbreaking approach to modular fly fishing gear, including Best New Angling Product from Gray’s Sporting Journal (2013).
“The new shop is situated right on the banks of Great Miami River, letting customers
walk right from the front door to the river to test gear,” said Smith. “I’m thrilled to have such a unique, hands-on location to spread the joy of fly fishing.”
