David Blair - Owner

Topic: Team Fish Tales| No Comments »

David has fished almost since he could walk. He’s spent many hours on the banks of the Bow and has been fortunate enough to travel overseas where he’s fished for New Zealand’s elusive browns, Africa’s predatory tiger fish, Cuba’s eager bonefish, and whatever felt like eating along western Australia’s and Baja’s coasts. Dave’s most recent fishing excursions have been scouring Cuba’s flats for permit and exploring Florida’s coast.

During his college and university days David lived in Lethbridge, Alberta and Missoula, Montana. Both areas are veritable fly fishing havens. He spent four summers guiding fly fishing for pike in Canada’s North. Those summers cemented Dave’s love affair with “toothy critters.” He still loves chasing pike and barracuda with his fly rod.

He has a Bachelor of Science in Wildlife biology. Customers may wonder how a trained biologist came to be a fly shop owner and although there’s no single answer to that question everyone can rest-assured Dave loves what he’s doing. One of Dave’s greatest joys is being able to share his knowledge with customers.
