Customer Testimonials
	Dear Chad, I wanted to send you a note of thanks for all that you have done for me and my fishing skills and equipment. Before you started working with me on fly fishing, my gear consisted of a $19.95 Wal-Mart Special Fly Rod/Reel with any fly that I could find. My methods were poor, my casting was pathetic, and catching fish was marginal at best. I was what could be called "a hack" and a "want to be". After a couple of lessons and fishing outings with you, I have greatly improved and now feel as if I can fish with the best of them. I have caught trophy fish of varying species and can even draw out those stubborn lunkers that most fishermen seldom get attention from. It became very evident that technique and equipment are paramount to success. The fly rod that you created for me literally fits my hand/technique perfectly. You have adapted special construction that makes the casting easier, more consistent, and covers many of my technique errors. In addition, the material you used for the rod is of very high quality. The handle has unique patterns that sets my rod apart from all others in the industry and I love the personalized name decal above the handle. I have seen many high priced rods in shops, but none of them compare to the quality and uniqueness of the one that you built for me. In closing, your skills and the ability to share/teach those skills to others is what makes Fly Fishing Specialties different from everyone else. It pleases me and makes me very proud to do business with you. Thank You! Douglas
	To whom it may concern, Downey Fly Fishers thoroughly enjoyed Chad Schiel’s, “Fly Fishing for Bass” program and his pre-meeting fly tying demonstration.  Chad is eager to share his wealth of fly angling knowledge to anyone that is interested in learning more about the great sport of fly fishing.   During Chad’s tying demo, he showed us many innovative bass patterns that are constructed with many new tying materials.  He explained all the steps in tying his patterns and would explain how each pattern is fished. His program covers all aspects of fly fishing for bass in a very easy to follow step by step method.  He really emphasizes a structured approach to angling and to adapt your angling techniques to match the ever changing conditions you will face while on the water. I would recommend Chad to any organization that wants to have a great guest speaker that will raise some interesting angling questions in a very entertaining and educational way.   Sincerely, Zino Nakasuji, Program Chairperson for Downey Fly Fishers http://www.downeyflyfishers.org/
	When I buy anything, I go for only the best.  I’ve searched long and hard for a fly rod that comes with the best action and feel in the sport, yet is still one of a kind and personalized for me.  This is exactly what I found at Emerge fishing. I originally heard of Emerge fly rods and custom work through a friend who wouldn’t stop raving of them.  I looked into it and started talking with Chad; he was professional and very knowledgeable about every aspect of fly-fishing.  He found me the rod that best fit my needs and was personalized with the colors and designs that I chose. After it was made and I received it, I was in awe!  The craftsmanship is unlike I have ever seen and the attention to detail was incredible.  I wanted to hang it as art on the wall rather than risk damaging it while fishing.  That worry quickly went away when I found out that all rods made at Emerge fishing come with a lifetime warranty. After fishing with it, I was amazed with the comfortable feel and balance.  The action I got from the graphite was effortless. There was nothing that I was disappointed with.  It far exceeded my expectations for a fly rod.  This will be the last fly rid I ever own.  Emerge fishing…you have taken fly rods and business to a whole new level.

	Hello Chad:   I wanted to send you a short note to thank you for a great seminar for our club. It was both entertaining and educational. Have had a lot of good feed back from those in attendance and others that missed the meeting. In addition, you have encouraged us to take advantage of some local waters that fly fishermen often overlook in their quest for the perfect trout stream. Hope to see and fish with you on the water in the near future. Bob Sawyer President SouthBay FlyFishers
