Telleen Heads Home

For those of you who visit our Great Falls shop from time to time, you have probably met Fred Telleen. He has been helping us out in the shop from about November to March each year during his off season from guiding on the Kenai as a fly fishing guide in Alaska.

Fred has been guiding in Alaska for 26 years and is a well-known and respected angler and guide. He is heading home and meeting up with Calvin, Paul, Sam, Keith, and Denver to make final decisions on gear and flies for the 2015 season this week. Fred tweeted us this message from Alaska earlier this week-

"My last first cast of the 2014 season. 26 fine years #alaskaflyfishing #Mysticwaters @north40flyshop : See you soon"

Fred will be running the Great Falls shop now with the help of Joe O’brien and Rick Pasquele. Denver, who currently heads the Great Falls locations will be heading over to our brand new Couer d’Alene store.
