Second Annual Holiday Open House

  We would like to invite you to our second annual Holiday Open House. Come join us Saturday December 15th from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm for good food, great friends, and plenty of fly fishing talk for everyone. Be there as we unveil the new shop logo. We will have plenty of new shop hats and window stickers so  you can show your "Marblehead" pride.

  Come meet the president of Niethe Associates LLC, Andrew Niethe. Andrew will be helping us launch two new product lines:

  We will have the full line of Galvin reels on display for you to see. We will also have plenty of Clear Creek gear including the new Spite Hill lumbar pack. In conjunction with handling his product lines Andrew is a master tube fly designer and he will be demonstrating his skills at the bench.  

  Stop by to meet local artist Bart Gelesh. Here is an excerpt from Bart's website; 

My name is Bart Gelesh and I paint fish.   I’m an avid fisherman in both fresh and saltwater but my interest is not restricted to just game fish.  I’m also a huge fan of America’s lesser known natives and I keep several aquariums full of beautiful wild caught specimens I’ve collected with friends in my travels.

While I do paint some of the more popular species in the angling world, when possible I like to shine a light on some of our lesser known fishes.  Through my work I hope to create an awareness of the wonderful aquatic diversity that surrounds us and share my passion for life on, in, and around the water.

Feel free to please contact me at [email protected] with any questions, requests, or comments.

Here is a sample of some of his work and it is absolutely beautiful! This may be a great way to "immortalize" your fish of a lifetime.
