Tie’n’Fly Outfitters was established by me Gavin Platz in 1993.

I was a commercial line/crab fisherman who fell in love with saltwater Fly Fishing while working in a local tackle shop. As I lived on the beach, 8hrs from a trout stream, it had to be Saltwater Fly Fishing.

After hunting down every bit of info and training I could find, it occurred to me that a lot of the information given out in Saltwater Fly Fishing Arena was not correct. Anglers were given poor information and sold the wrong gear, wasting angler’s money and their time and effort.

I set up Tie’n’Fly Outfitters to be a hub of the best information and to sell correct products all set up properly for the Saltwater Fly Fishing Angler, which ultimately saves the angler money in the long run. It is my strong view by the angler getting the right information, gear and training at the start he will not only be more successful but have fun in his chosen hobby. Thus, making it easier for the beginner angler to meet the challenge of getting into the craft of Saltwater Fly Fishing or for an experienced angler to get into the best position to achieve that trophy fish.
