Perfect Fly Store James Marsh Inquiry on the quality of product as opposed to stock images on website, leads to intimidation - implied threat of physical harm. Pigeon Forge Tennessee

PerfectFlyStore.com

Just thought I would pass this info along. Had an interesting and disappointing interaction with James Marsh, the owner of PerfectFlyStore.com. Apparently, he's some sort of self proclaimed "legend" of the Fly Fishing world.

I had no idea and stumbled upon the store during a Google search for local Pennsylvania Fly Shops looking to see what they had in stock for my trip.

Well, here is the conversation - as well as the threats he made - you decide whether or not you want to shop there:

I am rather let someone know when they insulted me, than to take a few dollars from the Sir. I don't need you money or for you to tell me how to run my d**n business.

A simple, “yes, those are the exact photos of the flies we sell”, would have sufficed and earned you my business.

No, we are in business to just fake everyone off.

We are also the only company in the World that has specific imitations of all major aquatic insects in all stages of life.

Are the images on the pages accurate to the quality of flies you get when you purchase? These things are amazing… Also just realized you are a national business, not a local shop - my appologies.

Hi guys,

My wife and I will both be down for the Bantam Jeep Festival on the 10th through the 17th. Wondering if I could get your recommendations for flies? I have most everything for Michigan, Tennessee, and Colorado. Any specials I need to add? …and will you guys have a decent stock of flies by then? (We tend to get cleaned out up here around that time of year.)

Also looking for info on the east branch of the Clarion – heard a few tales out of there… We’ll also be canoeing the Clarion later in the week.

Thanks in advance!

Jeramy
