Caddis Fly Angling Shop - Gold Level TU Business Member

What do you know about Eugene, OR? Well, if you’re a college sports fan, you know it’s the home of the University of Oregon. If you’re a geographer, you know it’s in the Willamette Valley. And if you’re a TU member, you might even know it’s the site for the 2016 Western Regional Meeting. But if you’re an angler, here’s what you really need to know about Eugene, Oregon: The Caddis Fly Angling Shop.

This shop has been around for over 40 years, long enough to see its influence expand from a great regional shop to a real force on the fly fishing scene. What’s that about? First and foremost, that’s about people. Real people with real names: Chris. Peter. Lou. Clay. Bryson. Andrew. Ty. Andy. Maddy.
Chris Daughters and the crew at Caddis Fly provide full service fly fishing advice, equipment, fly tying materials, and waders to friends and customers around the globe. No matter if you’re ordering online or walking in the front door, you get the same great customer service.

They’re a great fly fishing shop. They sell flies, and do one heck of a job at it. No matter what you’re fishing for - trout, steelhead, salmon, bass, bonefish, permit, tarpon, rockfish, carp, musky, pike, shark, or tuna – they’ve got a fly for that. They sell an amazing array of fly tying supplies. They sell great rods by Echo, Winston, Sage, CF Burkheimer, G Loomis, Redington, and others.  They sell reels by Ross, Bauer, Nautilus, Sage, Orvis, Tibor, Hardy and Loop. Lines, waders, boots, tackle bags, fly fishing packs, fly fishing vests, sunglasses, Yeti coolers. You name it – they’ve got it.  

They offer full service fly fishing guide service with guides who are licensed, and really good people. If you are interested in fly fishing Oregon, they can either provide a great guide or recommend a guide for your destination.

But what they’ve really got doesn’t show up on the inventory. They’ve got a soul, a conscience – a vision for fish and fishing in Oregon and across the West. Recently, the Caddis Fly was recognized by Trout Unlimited with Gold Level TU Business status for their above and beyond commitment to TU and coldwater fisheries conservation in Oregon.  The Caddis Fly has supported the local Eugene-based chapter of Trout Unlimited, the Redsides #678, with in-kind donations, use of shop space, and promotion of chapter activities well above the $1000 level required of TU Businesses.  Further, The Caddis Fly serves as a community center for conservation-minded anglers in the lower Willamette Valley and provides a clearinghouse of information on conservation issues, TU events, action alerts, and other news through the shop blog at www.oregonflyfishingblog.com.
