It’s been a long time coming and we are a little later than we wanted to be, but we are opening the doors to The River’s Edge West on Monday, April 15th at 9:00 am.  The River’s Edge West, our second location, has been a work in progress for over the past year and with lots of hard work from our employees and friends in the local community, we are ready to show it off.  While we still have a few things to finish up, we hope you enjoy our new location which puts us even closer to some of our great local fishing on the Gallatin and Lower Madison Rivers.

Located at 59 North Star Lane, we are next to the new Simms building and attached to Taco Time.  This store is similar to our current location on North 7th Ave and will have a similar product selection, with the exception of being able to carry almost 100% of the incredibly popular Simms line of fishing products, and having a learning center classroom integrated into the shop.  When you come in, you’ll notice some neat new display designs, an obvious influence from our neighbors at Simms, who helped us create a concept store look as they have done at other locations in Colorado and Texas, and our commitment to our other popular brands such as R.L. Winston Fly Rods, Sage Fly Rods, Ross Reels, Waterworks Lamson, Smith Optics, Costa, Dr. Slick and many others just to name a few.

So come out and say hi if you are in the area and remember that our current store, The River’s Edge at 2012 N. 7th ave remains open and ready to help you with your spring fishing needs.

Stay tuned for our River’s Edge West Grand Opening and class schedules!
