Fly shop in Altoona area

Does anyone know of a good fly shop local to Altoona?  I usually end up running to Johnstown Gander Mountain, but would rather deal locally.

    Not really a fly shop, but****s Sports has a very limited stock of fly fishing material.

    my vote is for Unkle joes', then the fly shop right at the bridge in Spruce Creek, honestly I forget the name, and I sure don't want to endorse the "other" one.

    Spruce Creek Outfitters is at the bridge.
     
    The "other one" Spruce Creek Fly Shop is now out of business.

    Everything I say can be fully substantiated by my own opinion

    Spruce Creek Outfitters would be the closest actual fly shop to Altoona. It's about a half hour away. Plus, it's a good idea to support the shop who's owner fought to keep the Little Juniata open, while the other shops in the area kept their distance from the case.
