    Fly fishing shops in N Indiana or S Michigan?

    Thought I may get some suggestions posting here.

    My Dad has been fly fishing for a couple years now. Panfish mostly in Laporte county. He's at the point now he wants to upgrade his rod/reel. Are there any shops within a couple hours of Laporte that specialize in fly fishing I can grab him a gift card for? BPS and Cableas are close but I know nothing about fly gear so Im not sure how their selection compares to other places. Just looking for somewhere that has a decent enough selection that he can get his hands on a few things before he decides what to purchase. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

    Only one I know of is the Flymasters in Indpls, and Orvis in Carmel. You might give the Michigan board a shout.

    I'd take a look at Chicago fly fishing outfitters if he's willing to travel a bit. That place has an amazing selection of fly gear!! They have a sister shop in the south suburbs Dupage Flyfishing Co in Napervile as well that has a good selection but not as expansive as Chicago Fly Fishing. chifly.com is their website to take a peak.
