JONATHAN NEYMAN FOUNDER / CEO
After traveling to fish the SOHO for many days over the last decade, Jonathan decided to make the dream for a fly shop a reality. He wanted to create a place where everyone could come before and after a day on the water. The Fly Box is a place where beginners, advanced anglers, and guides can gather as one fishing community.
