North 40 Fly Shop eMagazine July 2016 | Page 53

reflecting on the fishing, meeting employees, the opportunity to provide feedback, networking with many other Winston dealers, and many other valuable experiences, I realize that although it may not be fast, they are working on continuously improving some of the finest fly rods in the world. How are they getting there? By making an effort to provide more value than they receive, a lesson we can all work towards. Thank you to Winston Fly Rods and their staff for hosting Confluence 2016. I hope more people can understand the dedication you guys have to your craft, and to building the finest quality fly rods.
