Fly South – Nashville, TN

February 7th, 2008 Buster

Fly South is the place I usually end up at on a Saturday morning if conditions aren’t great for fishing or I just don’t have time for quick trip to the Caney Fork River. But then again, a quick trip to the Caney is about five or six hour fishing excursion.

Fly South is another one of the fly shops in town and has a wide variety of fly fishing and fly tying materials. Fly fishing is Fly South’s only sport and they all excel at it. Fly South carries Sage, Scott, G. Loomis, St. Croix, Abel, Lamson, Tibor, Ross, Hardy, and Bauer. As a fly tier, I am a huge fan of their fly tying room with all of the feathers, fur, hair, hooks, and hackles. If I am on the search for a material for a new pattern, they usually have it, and if the don’t they are quick with a response on another material that might substitute. They also have a wide variety of books and movies on fly fishing.

Fly South offers classes from entomology and knot tying to fly tying for bass, trout and salt water species of fish. They also offer a weekend fly fishing school and a ladies only fly fishing class.

Fly South is located at 1514 Demonbreun Street, Nashville, TN. Their phone number is (615) 251-6199. Jim Mauries (Owner), Steve Nix, or Jim Monroe can answer almost any question you have about fly fishing and the local waters. Jim Mauries and Steve Nix are the shops in-house guides, so if you are interested in a guided trip on one of Tennessee’s best tailwater trout fisheries, give them a call.
