I wish them luck, but it's a tough go trying to operate a tackle shop in a remote area. I will buy whatever terminal gear I need there whenever possible. But they typically can't compete on the big ticket items like rods and reels. And I am not certain thay can make it in swivels and floats.

Now, if the Sky held the amount of fish it should, like the vedder does, he could have a shop like Fred's in Vedder crossing. Heck there's even a portable resturant operating on one of the bettter run on the Vedder.
