Chattanooga is lucky to have Choo Choo Fly and Tackle. For a city our size, we are fortunate to have people like Mac McGee, owner of Choo Choo and world renowned fly fisherman, helping to provide us with gear to fish locally and internationally. I have booked trips all over the world through Mr. McGee?s travel service. Many of those guides were famous and only allowed bookings through people like Mac. Choo Choo is also the only fly shop in the area that offers premium fly fishing gear. I know Chattanooga has an Orvis shop, but no experienced fly fisherman buys Orvis gear. No one ever sees guides, or people fishing tournaments, with Orvis gear for a reason. I am not a blogger. I only write this in response to the previous review. The staff at Choo Choo Fly and Tackle has always been friendly to me. They obviously must be doing something right to have been around for over 30 years. As a native of Chattanooga and someone who has worked local retail, I feel that it is important that we support our longstanding shops.
Pros: Experience, Helpfulness, Local Asset
Cons: no website
