District Angling featured on Arlington's Car Free Diet
/
Ken Matthews of Arlington's Car Free Diet stopped by to check out our shop, explore what we had to offer, grab some coffee, and talk about fishing in the DC metro area.
"Richard says all walks of life come through the door such as “… lawyers, doctors, painters and mechanics. But in my shop, everyone is equal and on a level playing field.” It’s not your conventional tackle fly shop. Customers are loyal and will stick around to talk about fishing over coffee. As Richard puts it, “loitering is encouraged here.” With staff members that are all fishing junkies, they’re eager to talk about products, methods and other fishing topics. During the summer, they host Beer Fridays (beer donated from local breweries) and Richard grills half smokes from Ben’s Chili Bowl. In December, he’s planning a group trip to New Orleans."
