This place is a small beautiful shop in the middle of Downtown Round Rock. The staff is knowledgeable and more than willing to have a conversation about anything fly fishing related. They have tones of gear, tones of ideas and tone of knowledge to pass on! One of the best stops youll make I promise.I hate to say this, but I think everyone should know this is not a budget friendly shop. Expect high prices when you walk in. This is more the Gucci store of fly fishing.With that said you will love the items and will find a way to buy them! Their products are quality and that is what youre paying for.4 stars based on the lack of pricing/product diversity. I think this is a sport that everyone should be able to afford to enjoy.
Great all around fly shop! They had everything we needed for our trip into the Hill Country. They also had some outstanding knowledge and advice. Thanks much!
Chris and his team at Living Waters Fly Fishing are what make this the most amazing fly fishing shop in Texas! Not only are they a Christian owned and operated business with an amazing selection of gear and equipment, every one of the employees is also extremely knowledgeable, extraordinarily friendly and genuinely love their customers and their craft.Being new to fly fishing, these business characteristics made me feel right at home and eased my mind that I was getting what I needed to be successful.Businesses like Living Waters Fly Fishing can be rare gems to find these days but they are the real deal. Be careful if youre local as shopping, learning, classes, and events at LWFF can easily become an addiction; albeit a good one! 😀
Very helpful and knowledgeable staff and a great selection of everything fly fishing. If you are thinking of checking it out, just do it, you won’t be disappointed!
Hands down best fly shop in the Austin area. Best tying selection, more feathers than anyone would know what to do with. The passion and expertise in this shop have been a large part of my growth as a fly angler, will always recommend stopping in.
Enjoyed visiting here and buying some items for my upcoming Alaska fly fishing trip. Some of the staff had good knowledge of what to use.
Support your local fly shop.Good flies, good tying supplies, good gear, great people.
Im from Rockport TX, and i was referred to you guys by our local orvis shop. I was told i could ask questions on what i was doing and opinions on my flies... Ive recently started tieing... Yall were extreamly helpful and so welcoming... I have a qudstiin for Jim, i beleive... What was the name of the place here you said to look at again?? You can look me up on...i go by jonjon...
Out standing Fly Shop! There choices of fly tying supplies and gear is one of the best I have seen. Very friendly!! Im excited to be here in Round Rock and I look forward to doing business with this local fly shop!
The staff are super helpful, friendly and very knowledgeable on their products. Parking is a snap and easily found right outside the shop.After visiting numerous fly shops in different parts of the country, Living Waters has the absolute best selection of hackles, saddles and feathers that I have ever seen. You would be hard pressed to not be able to find what you are looking for on their glorious wall of feathers. The prices on the feather wall seemed to be inline with what you would expect for the quality offered. Outside of this section, the selection of fly tying materials is also top notch. There is tons to choose from and I have rarely found something out of stock. The prices tend to be a bit higher than you would expect from other shops but the availability makes up for it.
Very friendly and knowledgeable people. They know the local area very well. I have recommended several friends to the, and they all have been pleased with Living Waters Fly Shop
Very helpful for a beginner angler. Very helpful staff willing to answer questions and dedicate focus to you. Go check this place out.
Just got my entire rig here today. Thanks to the staff who have me a wide range of options at a bunch of price points. Nobody pushed anything on me and allowed me to make my own decisions. That being said their knowledge was instrumental in finding the right rod reel and flies for where I will be fishing.
Great local shop with awesome owners that knows their stuff. One of the gems of Round Rock
Very knowledgeable and helpful people. I came in looking for some files to catch bass on, and left with not only some excellent lures but some great suggestions that will help me catch more fish! Jim took the time to explain the difference that a proper, purpose-built fly line will make in helping to get a large,wind-resistant fly lure where you want it to go and do so without flailing the water.
Great service! I am just starting to fly fish and the owner helped me understand my gear. He did not try to sale me all kinds of equipment, but rather only sold me a few things that would allow me to get started and practice. Additionally, he took me outside and showed me how to cast my line. This is THE place to go for fly fishing!!!!
Jim did the lesson and Griffith did the guided trip. Both were awesome. The whole group was very easy to deal with. Would highly recommend them for guides, lessons and supplies!
Really helpful customer service, only downside is that I dont live nearby. Would definitely recommend.
Very friendly and helpful with what you need/ looking for!
Helpful staff, knowledgeable on the fly fishing. 😄👍
Cool shop. Got exactly what I needed.Support this local business.
I attended their intro to fly fishing seminar today and it was fantastic. The casting and rigging sessions were very clear and we’ll structured. The instructor/owner was very knowledgeable and made things very easy to understand and execute. I would highly recommend attending before making any type of investment in fly fishing.The shop was neat and has a comfy feel to it as well. The upstairs was used for the rigging session and was very easy to get a seat have a good visual for the demonstrations.I can’t wait to take my new found skills and chase some fish around.Well done!
I walked in today based on the recommendation of a friend of mine from Colorado and I was so impressed. I dont know that much about fly fishing but would love to get into it more. I was immediately greeted by Chris who was so helpful and genuine. Instead of offering me things to purchase he recommended that I come back to one of their free courses to help me understand about fly fishing in Central Texas. I was so impressed that I meant more than a sale. I cant wait to support this shop and business as much as I can. Thank you!
An oasis of fly fishing tackle in Central Texas. Superman would be jealous of the amount of capes this place has. Firehole hooks and stones? Got it. Veevus Thread? Got it. Ahrex hooks? Got it. Petitjean CDC and tools? Oui. Went in to pick up a pair of Simms G3 wader and Flyweight boots and now I will likey never have to order Fly tying supplies on the internet again now that Ive found this shop.
Amazing resource for central Texas, Texas, the USA and the planet. One of the very best...period. While texting a neighbor this week, my neighbor said Living Waters was one reason he had decided to move to Round Rock!
This is one of the nicest fly shops around. The place is not an exclusive place, but helps anyone wanting to fly fish enjoy the sport. They have workshops on fly-fishing, fly tying, and travel. They carry what you need from someone that is on a budget, to some of the best equipment you can use. The owner and his wife started out small and never forgot where they started. The shop is a treasure when so many people are using the internet for their purchases. There is nothing like finding that one rod or materials that feels right to bring the joy of fly fishing or fly tying to your life.
Best flyshop! Great customer service and s9 helpful!
This store is great. Tons of knowledge. Lots of gear. Great folks working there. Best place for fly fishing/tying gear around. Worth te hour plus drive for me.
GREAT Lessons! Just finished my first 1 on 1 lesson with Chris this week and I couldnt be happier with the results. He utilized his years of experience and excellent training skills to guide me through process of developing correct casting methods. His patience and encouragement provided an atmosphere of learning and growth. If you think youre an okay caster, see Chris and hell turn you into a great one!
Marcus was an amazing guide. Whether we were on or off the fish, his knowledge and professionalism were top notch. I would highly recommend him and the shop as well. They made my wife and I feel welcomed and well cared for. Thank you to everyone there.
Great atmosphere with great people. They offer free classes for casting and fly tying. They offer a great platform to get you addicted.
My husband & 3 sons all salivate when we go to this AMAZING store! Its really a cool place to go!
Like the other reviews say, its about the people! Chris has a ton of information about local waters and loves to talk fishing. Matt ties some of the nicest flies Ive seen and always has great advice as to what to throw in the water. They cooperate with local clubs and also offer an array of awesome classes in addition to leading a fly tying group each Wednesday. Whether youre looking for equipment, info or just to talk fishing, this shop is the best Ive seen in the south.
The best fly shop anywhere. Great educational program and fly tying night is great.
Great people, best selection of tying materials around.
Griff was an amazing guide. He was very patient and put us on an abundance of fish. My son and I had an awesome time and would like to thank Griff and Living Waters.
Great People. Great Gear. And Great Shop. Couldn’t ask for a better shop this close to home. More than willing to help you along your way to a great day on the water.
This has been my favorite fly shop for the past 6 years since I moved to Austin. Chris and Emily know fly fishing in Central Texas better than anyone I know. They dont just know the standard flies, they know the flies which specifically produce in their area and in the typical hot spots around Austin. They are incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. The events are helpful, really informative, and FREE! The best part about the store is you dont feel like you have to buy anything, and you really dont have to, Chris and Emily want you to enjoy and appreciate the fly fishing opportunities as they do. Forget Cabelas and Bass Pro, come here, catch fish.
This is a true jewel of a fly shop. The people are friendly, helpful and always happy to help with catching fish. Living Waters has been my home base shop for quite some time now. The new store is amazing!
Hands-down my all-time favorite fly shop!The new location is much bigger with a broader selection. The staff is passionate about fly fishing and extremely helpful with one goal in mind: to get you on fish...even newbies. They know what is hitting on local waters and are happy to tell you. The store has top-quality gear, a huge selection of flies and gift certificates if you cant make up your mind.Ive tied flies on Wednesday nights (a fun group)...all supplies provided and a new one each week. Plus, free Saturday classes, just show up. If you really want to learn, try a guided trip...mostly Brushy (bass & panfish) and the Guad (trout) but also Alaska. Alaska was a TRIP OF A LIFETIME! Mousing for rainbows! Seriously, it doesnt get any better!Oh, and take a casting lesson, its a game changer!If in the area, its a must see destination, and say hi to the owner, Chris, youll be glad you did.
Absolutely great fly shop for central Texas. Great customer service. Very knowledgeable of all there products. Shop local!!!
Best place to get flies and gear in central Texas easily. Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Been coming for many years
GO HERE NOW. This place is a wealth off knowledge and passion for the sport of fly fishing. I went there and got everything needed to start fishing the same day. If you are new to the sport like I was, go here instead of buying the stuff online. You will not regret your decision.P.S. they have some free classes that really help
I brought my Mom here for their fly tying lesson. She loved the class and we went fishing later that night. Thanks Amber!
Wonderful people, great product. I recommend to anyone who wants to fly fish.
Its a great place filled with great people that will help you get out in the water onto some fish. Great selection of flies, rods and reels, gear galore, and tying supplies.
Chris and Emily are absolutely awesome! They are not experts on the products they sell, they know the local fishery so well they make sure you are choosing what it takes to get the job done. Highly recommend for beginners to experts, they will take care of you.
Store is very clean, people were nice, plenty of what I wanted in stock... Just wish there was a nice store like this closer to me in Fort Worth!
First off, how is it 4.9 stars when all reviews are 5 stars??Chris and Emily are friendly and have probably beaten the odds in making this business a success (unless one of them has a trust fund).The fly shop is well stocked and not cluttered with gimmicks and nonsense like so many of the western fly shops. They also ship!! I have ordered over the phone with them and they have had my items in Montana pretty quick. There are regular events that are also listed on the website. Im not very social, but it seems like a nice group of folks at the fly tying nights.This April I hired Chris to guide me and my daughter on the Llano. It was a good experience and one I would recommend.
They are Always willing to help! Every time I go in I am met with a smiling face and top notch customer service!! The BEST fly shop ever!
Friendliest fly shop in Texas. Weekly fly tying classes are great.
This shop is constantly giving back to the community - joined the weekly fly thing session tonight for the first time as an absolute beginner. Had a great time.
Great local shop, very knowledgeable staff and focused reasonably priced selections.
Love this shop - great for experienced fly fishers looking to gear up for a trip, and also for a newbie fly fisher like myself. Its so nice to feel comfortable asking the beginner questions :)
Awesome guide trip with Griffith today. Love everything about Living Waters. Highly recommend.
A great, local fly fish. One stop for everyones fly fishing needs. They have flies, fly tying materials, rods, reels, waders, boots, clothing, books, etc. The shop also hosts an array of classes to get you started in fly fishing, all the way through honing in on advanced skills.
Helpful, expensive, high quality goods
Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Great selection of flies you won’t find at Bass Pro.
Wonderful fly shop, knowledgeable staff, awesome events every week, huge fly tying selection. Living Waters is the best!
Love this place. Staff is always super helpful, not to mention the fly tying classes on Wednesday evenings. Simply spectacular.
Well stocked and friendly! Great destination shop in Central Texas
Attended a class and it was extremely informative and fun for a total beginner. Highly recommend!
Exceptional fly fishing outfitter located in Roundrock, TX with ready access to several great fly fishing locations, including across the street from Brushy Creek. The shop includes an array of flies useful for all of the local fisheries in central Texas. Likewise, they maintain an assortment of fishing gear and apparel from Freefly, Simms, and Fishpond. They are one of the only outfitters in the Central Texas that carry and are knowledgeable about Tenkara rods and fishing. In addition to carrying an impressive selection of fly tying material, those who work in the shop are eager to teach and very knowledgeable and helpful about all things fly fishing. Living Waters regularly offers fly fishing education on Saturdays and fly tying for all levels weekly. Check out their events page on their web site. My wife and I attended a full day series of workshops and learned a lot from shop owner Chris Johnson.
They went out of their way to help a beginner who is still learning about fly fishing and tying.
Family atmosphere, great help, extremely knowledgeable and helpful
Chris and Emily are extremely knowledgeable and always willing to help! They offer various classes almost every Saturday and fly tying night on Wednesday nights, all of which is free!
Great place for flyfishing equipment and friendly family atmosphere!
This is an awesome store owned by an awesome family. I highly recommend Living Waters.
Awesome place to get info on local fishing spots. Great place to get flies and gear too.
Excellent shop and the most friendliest staff I have ever met.
Thanks to Mason for helping me organize all of my flies into their proper categories and places in my fly boxes. I bought one of HIS flies too, a real purty one called the red or river diablo I think.
Staff is super friendly and helpful. They fish locally and know what the fish like.
Love this shop and how engaged they are in the community. They organize an annual clean-up on one of the local creeks and weekly fly tying nights!
When your kid loves fly fishing but you have no clue, come here. They are local and they know their stuff
Great shop with friendly and helpful people.
Great flyshop and great people, right here in central Texas.
I love this shop, the staff is so friendly, knowledgeable and the classes here are fantastic. Also, thanks for carrying products for women!!
