Thrift Store Thursday: Flyfishing!!

Union Gospel Mission Thrift Store has a unique handcrafted items unavailable anywhere else- custom made flyfishing rods and flies! The making and selling of flyrods was initiated by LifeChange resident Will Anderson. Will, like many residents of LifeChange, is passionate about fishing.

In addition to flyrods, Will and other LifeChange residents create flies and teach each other in a weekly fly tying class.



Here's Will at the thrift store in the "fishing corner" a display of custom flyrods and flies.






A sample of some of the items for sale.



Will poses with one of his custom made flyrods, in UO colors - green and gold.
Father's Day is this Sunday! A custom flyrod is an excellent gift! Visit the thrift store at 11611 SW Pacific Hwy. in Tigard, or call the thrift store at 503-639-6488.
