I have bought some fishing clothing there. My wife was tired of my fishing clothing making me look like a homeless person. It is nice being able to try on Simms & Howler Brothers clothing to see exactly what fits rather than buying it online and hoping for the best.

The staff is great and if I am looking for anything other than tying supplies I go there before I head to grapevine.

I'll always be a loyal customer of Tailwaters! The last two times I was down at the shop they gave me free breakfast tacos. The new location is a lot bigger than the old one off of McKinney ave., which makes for a better shopping experience in my opinion.

Whether you think you can or you can't, you are probably right.

I mentioned this on another thread and figured but it would be better for this thread. I think tailwaters is great, but I also recommend that people give Orvis Dallas a shot. Between the phenomenal customer service (lifetime guarantee return policy for virtually all items), free classes, and great selection- it's really hard to not be a loyal customer. Yes their rods are pricy and I do not own any, but I often find this as my go to shop.

Furthermore, they send out coupons all the time for $25 off a purchase of $50 or more. It's perfect for loading up on Tippett, shirts, or any other random items before a trip.

Agreed.

It's hard to beat their customer service, and it has been my experience that they will 100% stand behind what they sell. I try to pop in at Tailwaters whenever I'm downtown, but living a block from the Plano Orvis store means that's where I usually go when I need something. Great group of people over there.

Plus, they sell one heckuva dog bed wink

One note on Orvis - read the fine print on their coupons. A lot of them exclude fishing products such as Tippet, flies, and gear. I own several Orvis products and I personally know the Plano fishing manager. Tailwaters is still the only place that will allow product testing on site. And obviously, you can find stuff other than Orvis there. Both are great retail shops.

It's really the staff that make the trips to Tailwaters worth going back. The first time I walked in it had been 10 years since I did any fly fishing. I talked to Ron about getting new line, which I didn't need. Not only did he not pressure me in to getting something I didn't need but he even told me the name of the shop I got my reel from over 25 years ago. Ever since then there has been a Tailwaters decal on the back of my FJ.

Orvis on the other hand just seems like another chain store no matter which one I go to. I have been to Orvis stores in Austin (both the original store on 183 and the new one), Plano, Dallas and Chicago. Most of their sales staff either doesn't seem interested in helping or doesn't know much about what they sale.

Just out of curiosity, have you ever had an issue using a coupon there for fishing gear? I only ask because I have used those $25 coupons on fishing gear exclusively for years and have never had an issue.

I do know they won't take them on Yeti coolers.

Thumbs up on Tailwaters. One of the few places where you can find Simms gear %50 off a few times a year.
