Gagnon Sports GONE!

Dear FTF Member,
Support FTF by Subscribing to Hatches Today! 2011 Issue - In Stock
Since 2003 FlyTyingForum.com has grown from a handful of people to 30,000 registered members and has become the largest fly tying community in the world. In 2007 I published the first issue of Hatches because I felt the FTF community could offer a printed magazine that far exceeds anything the fly tying world has ever seen published. To this day, Hatches is largely made up of articles submitted to me by FTF member and FTF will continue to play a large role in the future of Hatches. Hatches truly is a grassroots effort, unlike many of the other publications in circulation that have the backing of large media corporations. The future of both Hatches and FTF depends on the support of FTF members like you. For $7 a year, you not only help ensure that I have the resources needed to be able to offer you all of the features you enjoy today free of charge, you also get 96 pages of pure fly tying awesomeness that is worth the price by itself. Click Here for Subscription Info Thank You -Will

I just heard over the drums and smoke signals that Gagnon Sports in Oshawa burned down yesterday. Those folks in the eastern GTA won't be too happy.

My gf seen it.. flames coming out the roof, it was a big place.. I live in Oshawa so I know most the guys that work there. It happened pretty early in the day so I'm hoping no one was hurt. Sad day today.

Gagnons sports was rob about 10 years ago, the owners have overcome some very big problems.. When I or anyone i know walks in there its quick service a sneek peek at the new stuff.. and a discount to go.. I'm pretty upset about this.. there actually has been alot of talk about competition, as of now its only spectulation.. I will let everyone know what the cause of this was soon as i know..

No one has ever been forced to shop at Walmart. I don't, I hate the place and its disreguard for the workers and distributors it deals with. Great deals at a not so great price. There are few other stores left around my area.
