Fischers in Shepherdsville is still in business. For what it is worth, I would love to hear someone name those that went out of business because of BPS and Dicks moving into the area. There were not that many tackle stores around before BPS and Dicks moved in.

As I said, Bullfrog Creek closing had nothing to do with BPS and Dicks. I visit both chains and smaller stores. I will go see guys like Mr. Pepper, Gary Ball and others, but I am not immune to a trip to BPS or DIcks, because there are things I can get from them that are not available at the smaller places.

BTW CTFSHWHISKER, I ran into Eric F. a couple of weeks ago and spent the better part of an hour BS'ing with him.
