A Message to my friends

As two skilled craftsman who have spent years in the trades, John and Jesse will be the first to tell you that there is a satisfaction that comes from building something. Starting with an empty space and raw materials and turning it in to a home or an office. Perhaps the only greater satisfaction than doing it for someone else is doing it for yourself.

The concept that has become Westslope Fly Shop began as a whisper well over a year ago. The course has been tumultuous and circuitous. Often times the idea seemed to fade from the horizon only to be reborn in another form. But through it all one thing persevered... A passion for Fly Fishing.

John and Jesse's desire to share their passion was the reasoning behind Westslope Fly Shop. That passion has fueled their vision and allowed it to emerge.

I would like to thank my friends for allowing me to join them on this journey. I would also like to wish them the greatest success as they open their doors tomorrow. But in the end they've already succeeded... They've chased their dream and created something from nothing.
