I had a whole lot of concern when I heard Jimmy was leaving and you guys were going to be taking over. He ran an amazing shop and he's a wolrd class guy. Fortunately, my fears were completely unwarranted. You guys have been exceptional in moving the shop forward into a new era. The only thing I miss is Jimmy himself, but I couldn't be happier for him to move on to the next stage as well.
Yep, we've heard this same sentiment and our goal from day #1 was to continue his excellent track record and make it as good as we can. And yes, Jimmy is a "one of one" type human!
As an Idaho Falls native, the shop is in a great location because of the hard work Jimmy did. The man's a legend in these parts. I'm glad you kept it downtown.
Congrats FFF on the new location. I've visited Jimmy's shop many times in the past and excited to see how you put your flair on this existing world-class shop.
I live in Rhode Island not much to talk about here however you as you said you found great people where you are I know that with Idaho Falls News and secret Santa you have even more behind you and maybe one day they could stop in just to say hello. I am 74 yrs old and been tying and fishing since the 60s and your shop looks like heaven. Great Job REALLY..... I wish all the best going forward....
Rich here , I’m all the way over In central Massachusetts. Big fan of FFF and looks like you guys are doing an amazing job taking over Jimmy’s. I’ve heard by others how great jimmy’s fly shop is. Can’t wait to head up there and visit both shops and fish .
Awesome fly shop! Shopped Jimmy's for years when i lived in IF. I live in Montana now, but I always make a point to visit the new store when I'm visiting. Good job!
The only fly shop in the Kansas City area is closing the 31st. (K&K fly fishers). It served all of us fishing the rivers in southern Missouri, Arkansas, and outfitted trips all over the world. And even those of us who fish the warm water all around here. Watching the footage of the store, made me realize the differences. Guess all of us here will be shopping on line.
Sadly its online indeed. Losing K&K was a punch to the gut. Comparing them to this shop is interesting. K&K was good but this one is spectacular. I've been shopping online forever anyway but I liked to support Kevin's shop and bought from his when I could.
I am a southern Bass fisherman. I don’t get to fly fish often. But, I must say your stores look great. It would be real fun to wonder through the merchandise. Thanks.
Both shops are awesome! We had the opportunity when visiting for the SE Idaho fly fishing/tying expo to make a weekend out of it with the family and see you guys up there. Great shop, great people! Couldn’t ask for anything better. I’m glad it’s been a success! 🙌🎣
I try to come in as often as I can. Madison and Henry and AJ are all amazing. it's a drive, and I don't mind it. they're always laid back, good music, amazing help, world class selection, for fly fishing it's home base for me
I planned my trip to America so I could go to FlyFishFood Orem for the second time . I got to meet cheech and Curtis again and I included going to Idaho falls on my trip so I could visit jimmy’s FlyFishFood as well . Both shops are amazing so much stuff and the guys working there were so friendly. I got a hotel beside the falls definitely a trip of a lifetime !
Best Fly shop In Idaho falls! Location is fine. Walking isn’t a big deal since you gotta walk to your fishing holes! Easy to come in and drop 100/200$ love this place!
@@JoeyIdaho yup. We had concerns initially about location, but the downtown vibe is great. Lots of walk in traffic. Pretty simple to park around the corner or across the street. Like walking across a big parking lot.
I was in jimmy’s last fall, loved the shop. The two gentlemen that helped me out were friendly, helpful, were great over all. If I order from the website and one shop has the item but the other shop has it, will I still get the item?
@@maddog48froggy if you can add it to your cart, you will get it. We don’t pick orders from either store. We have a warehouse that fulfills web orders.
here in the midwest two flyshops close in the last day of December. Its a tough biz. The only decent shop is in St Louis Mo now. Kansas city and Springfield Mo no longer have one.
The shop looks well equip I go through Idaho falls alot , and stay over night there I'm 72 years young I tie lots of flies and fish up here in northern montana sin e the 70s I usually fish i to mid November congratulations
My biggest complaint is canceling MASU hooks. This was an Easter Idaho owned company. You came in and canceled the contract. Jimmy carried them for years. Such a bummer
No doubt you have filled the space with inventory. Before redoing the shop, it would of been good to understand the customer base and what inventory to stock that moves. It appears you may have a complete selection and a beautiful looking shop but many items will sit and not move frequently or at all. I am sure your now collecting data and will adjust going forward.
My biggest complaint is the location. One way streets and sometimes I have to park 2 blocks away and walk in. When there is building and construction I have avoided going to the location altogether and ordered from competitors online. Great shop!!!
I think the location is excellent. I loved Jimmy and his staff. He was always helpful and contributed generously to the community. I bought a new jacket up there right after a great dinner at a new Italian restaurant within a quick walk to the shop. Jimmy found the right kind of people to take the baton.
YEAH JIMMY, YOU SOLD OUT JUST AT THE RIGHT TIME. Massive quantities of synthetic, useless tying materials and other useless junk for sale at maximum prices. Just like in the vid, all that but nobody buying.
@@FlyFishFood Its really a shame that your not old enough to have seen what fly fishing use to be. Ya know, before someone thought it was a good idea to try and make it a business. People came to Jimmy's because it was Jimmy. You're full of MBA speak.

I could only dream of a fly fishing shop that well stocked.....amazing

I fly fish for small mouth bass it’s fun as hell

That amount of tying materials is insane, and ive seen some pretty good shops.

You need a bench all the way across the inside of those front windows. Us old guys need a place to sit down

Great looking shop. Congrats and have a great 2025.
What a nice store.
So sorry to inform you but Fishmas is in October. October 10, and for the last 10 years we have celebrated it on the green river.
The shop looks well equip I go through Idaho falls alot , and stay over night there I'm 72 years young I tie lots of flies and fish up here in northern montana sin e the 70s I usually fish i to mid November congratulations
might have to stop by next time I'm in the area wish I lived closer.
It “seems” like there is less “out of stock” on your online shop. Is this because you can ship from either location?
@@WorldsOkayestBusDriver nope. Just good inventory control 😬
quite the shop
My biggest complaint is canceling MASU hooks. This was an Easter Idaho owned company. You came in and canceled the contract. Jimmy carried them for years. Such a bummer
@@firstlast6159 yeah. We would have loved to keep selling them too! You should ask them why.
❤❤❤

@@ChuckNorris-lf8nt turns out… we have experience in this 😬
Your flies are way too expensive!!!!
My biggest complaint is the location. One way streets and sometimes I have to park 2 blocks away and walk in. When there is building and construction I have avoided going to the location altogether and ordered from competitors online. Great shop!!!
I'll second that. Nice shop, less than ideal location.
Strongly disagree. I can have my son grab food in one the nearby restaurants and I can hit the shop. Plenty of parking a block away.
I think the location is excellent. I loved Jimmy and his staff. He was always helpful and contributed generously to the community.

@@brianshaheen1138 I think the caps really helped make your point. Thank you for your heartfelt message.
