In the final installment of my Gulf Shores, Alabama, yarn, I need to properly thank Community Fly Supply.  Aside from being the cleanest and most immaculate fly shop I have ever stepped into, one of the shop's employees saved my fishing experience on the trip.  While this was a family vacation and not a dedicated fishing trip, I still had some time to fish.  The situation that I found myself in threatened to end my fishing for the rest of the trip.  The solution could only come from a fly shop and they are the only fly shop in the area.  Thanks to Community Fly Supply, I got to fish a lot more.    

I apologize for being so cryptic.  I've given A LOT of thought to how I would word this post so please don't think that I am being strange without a purpose.  You see, Community Fly Supply did something so nice for me that I don't want to put them in an awkward spot.  I don't want to set some sort of precedent in the future because of what they did for me.  In other words, I don't want the store's generosity and kindness to be the expectation.  As Rip Wheeler once said in the television series, Yellowstone, "You do it once, you're being nice.  You do it a second time, and you're a petting zoo...".  

The point of this post is to return a favor.  It is my hope that maybe I can send a little business to some folks that helped me out when I needed it.  If you get a chance to visit the store, you will be blown away by the cleanliness, organization, and knowledge of the staff.  If you don't frequent the area, feel free to browse Space Coast Flies and maybe order some patterns from the online store.  While a lot of fly shops around the country are struggling right now, it would be great if we could support one like Community Fly Supply!
