I had to go into Reno yesterday to pick up some materials for my latest remodel and got a chance to fish at Mayberry Park, at the Patagonia Outlet.
The fishing was so so, I got a couple of left over tiger trout (Brown x Brookie) planters drifting and swinging a birds nest. After an about 45 minutes the storm moved in and the rain and stronger winds blew me off the river.
Now I've fished this stretch a couple of times this is the second time I have gotten the "Stink Eye" from a Patagonia employee. The first one was from a not so pretty woman, I'm being way to kind, who cruised by me 3 times in her Prius as I got ready to fish. Last night was a dreadlock bedecked guy who frowned as he came around the side of my truck and saw my fly rod. I didn't see any PETA stickers on their cars. Non the less I got a distinctly bad vibe from these folks. No I'm assuming that they must have been employees because the outlet was closed and they came out of the building prior to going to their cars.
Don't they know that they are selling outdoor gear? I was infact wearing a Patagonia fleece last night.
It did leave a bad taste in my mouth for the companies gear and I don't know if I'll shop their agian.
Oh well.
Take care
