Cumberland Transit – Nashville, TN

February 4th, 2008 Buster

With every outdoor sport, there are outdoor retailers, and I bet you have your favorite. Even though you have been there a thousand times to look at gear, clothing, or other odds and ends, you probably will end up there when the river is blown out with excess rain, or on just a plain lazy slow weekend. I too have my favorite outdoor store or in my case fly shop. Nashville has three fly shops and on some days, I make it to all three to hang out and talk “shop”. Since there are three fly shops, consider this part 1 of a 3 post series.

Cumberland Transit is a variety outdoor retailer, they carry fly fishing, camping, backpacking, rock climbing, canoeing, kayaking, and mountain biking / road biking gear. As for fly fishing gear, Cumberland Transit carries Orvis, Temple Fork Outfitters, Winston, Cortland, Bauer, Hardy, Titon, Tioga, Fishpond, and Korker. Cumberland Transit has a wide variety of fly tying materials, tools, and vises to tie your favorite midge, nymph, streamer, bass, or saltwater pattern.

They are located at 2807 West End Avenue, Nashville, TN. Their phone number is (615) 321-4069. Ask for the fly shop and you will end up talking with Ronnie, Leo, or Don. All the guys are knowledgeable about fly fishing and can answer any questions about fishing the local waters. Ronnie is CT’s in-house fly fishing guide, so if you are interested in a guided trip on one of Tennessee’s best tailwater trout fisheries, give him a call.
