MEET CHARLIE
Charlie Reading's love for fishing started as early as age five. He spent his childhood fishing on his grandfather's farm. His love for fishing transitioned to fly fishing when he was fifteen and caught some trout. In 1978, he was hired to run Tony Pack's Fly Shop. He worked there until he was able to open Reading's Fly Shop in 1985. From 1978 until today, Charlie has been fortunate enough to fish both freshwater and saltwater around the globe. Fly fishing on six out of seven continents has given him an opportunity to gather experience and wisdom not afforded to many—wisdom that can only be gained in the field.
Charlie has a knowledge bank that is unrivaled, including a vast understanding of all equipment, environmental factors, and fish behavior. Whether you’re a beginner, just thinking of starting a hobby, or a seasoned veteran looking to hone your skills, there’s always something to be gained from a visit to Reading’s.
