Mad River Outfitters was founded in 1994 by current president/operator, Brian Flechsig. Brian has been a fly fishing guide and in the fly fishing business for most of his adult life. After managing other fly shops, he realized the Midwestern region needed a better shop with better service. At that point, Brian moved to Columbus and opened Mad River Outfitters.
With the help of great employees and friends, Mad River Outfitters has become one of the largest and most recognized names in the fly fishing business. We serve to be the ultimate source for everything fly fishing.
