Green Drake Outfiters

I am not much of an outdoorsman. In fact, I am not even much of an indoorsman either. Anyhow, my lack of outdoor skills, knowledge or comfort came to light when I met my sister-in-law’s boyfriend. He is the epitome of outdoors — he lives up in the mountains of Washington State, drives an atv, hunts, rides horseback, owns bear repellant and can fish any body of water for his survival. I spotted Green Drake Outfitters one day as I was cruising along Wellington Street and decided to stop by to buy something/​talk to the staff to acquire some sort of woods credibility (the opposite of street cred). Green Drake Outfitters (a green drake is a kind of fly they make lures of for fly fishing — some sort of outdoor sport) sells all kinds of fishing gear — the hats, these gloves for holding the fish tight as you wrest the hook from its mouth, vests to store your hooks, hip waders, all sorts of camoflage gear, etc. The prices? I have no idea if they are high or not, but the staff assured me they were middle of the road. Speaking of the staff, they seem very knowledgable — well, they were quite willing to spend time educating a city boy like me about all things outdoors — mostly for their own entertainment, I am sure! Anyhow, if you are interested in fishing or outdoor adventuring, then go to Green Drake Outfitters.
