Mad River Outfitters was founded in 1994 by Brian Flechsig. After managing and guiding for other fly shops in Southern Ohio, he realized that the Midwest needed a better fly shop with better service. At that point, Brian moved to Columbus, Ohio and opened Mad River Outfitters to the world.
With the help of a great team, friends and family, Mad River Outfitters has become one of the largest and most recognized names in fly fishing, with our goal being to welcome everyone to the sport of fly fishing.
We are both proud and grateful to say that it has become a place that fly anglers from around the world call their home base. From learning the basics of the sport to buying fishing tackle, flies, hosted travel and so much more.
With that said, let's celebrate the past 30 years and cheers to the next!
