The founders established Dodson Fishing Company to make fly fishing accessible for all, creating a welcoming environment for customers from beginner to expert. The shop strives to be a “no judgement” zone, offering great products and valuable advice without acting like they invented the sport.

He is available to help customers learn new knots, tie fly patterns, or share advice. Steve Grose brings extensive retail and fly fishing experience in the Upstate and WNC, knowing both fresh and salt fishing, equipment, and destinations. Drew Malone is a long-time fly fisherman who has taught many others to cast and fish, introducing others to the sport.

Hare’s Ear Fly Fishing provides patient and encouraging teaching, with guides who learn the habits of trout and bass to transfer that knowledge to clients. Mauri Techera, a native of Esquel, Argentina, hosts small groups on customized trips in Patagonia for trophy rainbow, brown, and brook trout.
