Restock Delays, Plan Ahead, Get Your Order In

We strive to have the best on hand inventory in the business. And we could probably surprise you with specialty items that no one else might have.

But in this tough time we are now starting to experience re-stock issues on some of our very core product items.

Many businesses are ordered to stop production and others are running on skeleton crews as we too are running lean as possible.

Our Advice:

~ Plan Ahead: If something you need is on backorder you'd be better off in the long run to get your name on one and put yourself in the front of the line for backorder fulfillment. We fill backorders on a first come, first serve basis.

~ Ask for Options: Our staff is extremely knowledgeable in all things fly gear. In many cases we might have a better available recommendation for your needs.

~ Call Ahead: We order and fill orders everyday and have all accesses to inventory of our own as well as most manufactures thus enabling us to provide you with inventory information most of which can be provided while we're on the phone with you.

Give us a call, 541-386-6977

AND

Thank You for your continued support during this especially difficult time.

Best Regards

Travis

COVID19 Update for Oregon - Deschutes and John Day Facilities Closures

Just in...

BLM PRINEVILLE DISTRICT TEMPORARILY CLOSES SOME RECREATION FACILITIES AND AREAS

Central Oregon – The health and safety of our visitors and staff remains the number one priority of the Bureau of Land Management. Consistent with the closures already put forward by our partners, as well as with the guidance provided by the CDC and Governor Brown’s Stay at Home Executive Order No. 20-12, the Prineville District is temporarily closing access and use of many of its developed recreation facilities to help limit the spread of COVID-19.

These closures include boating on the Lower Deschutes and John Day Wild and Scenic Rivers. Given the Oregon State Marine Board has put in place temporary boating restrictions and a number of boat ramps are already closed by other agencies, local communities, and partners, the Prineville District is no longer selling new boater permits for the period from March 28th – April 30, 2020.

All existing reservations for April 1st- April 30th will been cancelled and refunds will be issued. Boaters currently on the water will be able to complete their trips.Overnight use at all campgrounds along these rivers will be closed beginning 12:01 AM on April 1, 2020.

The river closures will also include bathrooms at developed recreation areas as well as boat launches. Access to day-use sites, trails, and all roads remains open. In addition, outside of the Lower Deschutes and John Day Rivers, restroom facilities at all developed recreation sites will be closed, and all developed campgrounds will be temporarily closed to overnight camping as of 12:01 AM on April 1, 2020.

Trash pickup and sanitation services on most of these recreation facilities will also be temporarily suspended. Access to day-use sites including trailheads is still available. Visitors currently in campgrounds will have until 12:01 a.m. April 1, 2020 to leave.

Sites remaining open for day-use (hiking, mountain biking, etc.) will be posted with measures for safe recreation. Despite facility closures, millions of acres of BLM-managed public lands across Oregon remain open to enjoy. We encourage all visitors, particularly those who are elderly, have underlying health conditions, or are otherwise vulnerable, to make smart decisionsand follow CDC guidance to help reduce the spread of COVID-19.

If you have questions regarding a specific location in this District, please call (541) 416-6700. Additional information for BLM Oregon-Washington will be posted on https://www.blm.gov/oregon-washington/covid-access-restrictions

COVID-19: A message from Travis

Current as of 6/23/2020

FACE COVERING UPDATE:
Governor Kate Brown Issues Face Covering Requirements for Indoor Public Spaces
In effect starting June 24th, 2020:  Guidance applies to Multnomah, Clackamas, Washington, Marion, Polk, Hood River, and Lincoln Counties. Face Covering Details


SHIPPING UPDATE:
Due to the impact of Covid-19 there may be a delay in shipping. We have a massive inventory, but many of our manufactures are now closed or running a skeleton crew. In return we are not able to restock all of our items as quickly as we prefer. Further more, orders that have been shipped may be subject to delays outside of our control.

To all our valued customers,
Our hearts go out to those affected by Covid-19, truthfully that is all of us in one way or another. I have owned Gorge Fly Shop, inc. for just over 28 years. During that time this country has been through many devastating events, but none quite like this. We always get through these things and I am sure we will with this one too. The future is going to be interesting to say the least. Hopefully life will be back to normal shortly.

Here at Gorge Fly Shop we are prepared and will continue to operate the online side of the business as normal. If you have not seen the back stock in our warehouse it is impressive. We have enough inventory to supply about 10 fly shops. With that said many of our manufactures are shutting down or working with a skeleton crew. Some items are going to be hard to restock at times. With these manufactures being shut down this will likely cause a shortage down the road on some items. We ask that you plan ahead and please be patient. We will do everything we can to ship your orders as soon as possible, with many orders shipping the same day.

Do what you can to keep your spirits up, we are here to help. Where and when it is safe go to some remote stream, lake or flat and get some fresh air.

Sincerely,

Travis Duddles 

COVID-19 SHOP UPDATE

 

Dear Friends,

 

We'd like to take a moment to update you on our current standing. Staff is on hand filling orders, answering emails and phone calls and assisting our walk in traffic.

Since our move out of downtown Hood River about a year ago our foot traffic is pretty minimal, meaning we don't get all the extra traffic who aren't anglers. At this current time we don't see a need to lock our doors. However, if you wish not to enter our showroom we'll be glad to meet you outside with your order.

Our Online store is fully operational and we are shipping orders daily. Call or email us if you have any questions. - Normal business hours apply.
