As I understand it, this goes with the territory of owning/running am independent fly shop.  You enjoy educating, outfitting, and sending out a lot of people, in every direction, to many super piscatorial locales.  This is a chosen vocation with a lot of upside.  The only downside I can tell, is that you don’t get a ton of water time yourself, at least in the short term.  It’s a trade off, and an accepted part of the gig.
