Today on the blog: Big Fishing on Little Pond

Tell us in the comments where your adventures take you!

One of the best parts of owning an outdoor store is hearing about the places our customers and friends explore. We may not get away from the shop as often as we'd like, but we're fortunate to hear firsthand about some incredible local outdoor destinations. This week, a friend stopped in after spendi...

Flashback Friday:

What were we up to in 2005?

When you've been around as long as we have, you tend to accumulate... stuff. We've got a LOT of stuff tucked away here, like order books from trade shows in 2015, binders full of old postcards and ads that date back to 2008, even catalogs from Christmas 1984 - YES, we used to publish CATALOGS.

Sale! Sale! Sale!

Memorial Day Weekend at Kenco!

We want to be your favorite store — and honestly, we’re trying our best over here.

Retail has gotten so confusing it should come with a helmet and a trail map. Many of our suppliers tell us, “No sales allowed!” …and then they run a sale we didn’t even know existed. Surprise!

So here’s our plan:

We put something on sale in every department.

And if you find a sale on anything we carry — one of those secret, “nobody told Kenco” sales — we’ll match it, HAPPILY.

We’ll even help you find the sale we weren’t told about.

Life as a small retailer… what a ride.

Thanks for sticking with us.

- Bill

PS: We will be closed on Monday in observation of Memorial Day.

Listen at the link below, and tell us in the comments what songs are on YOUR summer playlist.

It's that time again! Our annual Fly Fishing Seminar is coming up on Saturday, May 2nd.

Registration is now open, but space is limited. Registration fee of $20 includes the seminar, light refreshments, and all attendees will get a $30 credit to use on new fly fishing gear, like flies, line, rods, reels, waders, and more.

Led by experienced fly fishing guides Dan Swart and Hank Yost (who also teach our Fly Fishing 101 classes), the seminar is a full day of in-depth fly fishing knowledge, history, and stories. In addition to the seminar, Benchmade will also be here that day offering custom engraving on any Benchmade knives purchased - a great gift for college graduations, Father's Day, or to treat yourself to a new, personalized knife!

This event fills up quickly, so register early to secure your spot! https://kencooutfitters.com/pages/trout-tales
