ABOUT Us

My name is Tim Waters. I fell in love with the Wolf River as a young boy, cutting my teeth with a fly rod on the river 25 years ago. I wore out two pairs of waders a year for over twenty years on the Wolf River. I sold Cougar Tease streamers at Mike’s Service in Langlade. The Cougar Tease was a streamer I put together from the original Zoo Cougar by Kelly Gallop. It has been modified many times to get where it is today. It swims right and has durability. When Mike told me he was closing, I knew there would be no place to get flies in the Wolf River area. I was putting the book together at the time, and everything seemed to fall into place. I’ve spent the last 36 years working shift work in the mills and my children were grown and gone. So I just did it! With the amazing support of my wife, I opened the Wolf River Fly Shop on April 19th, 2024 at N6530 Highway 55, Hollister, Wisconsin. I started slow, as I had no clue what I was doing. I discovered that I love it! I met so many cool people this year! I will be open every weekend throughout the spring. I plan on opening Friday April 11th, and I can’t wait!
