CrossWaterCreek Grand Opening Event Featured in California Fly Fisher
In a recent feature on California Fly Fisher’s website, CrossWaterCreek Outfitters is highlighted as “building community—one cast at a time” with the support of the East Bay angling community.
That spirit came to life on October 15, when anglers from across the Bay Area gathered in downtown Lafayette for the Grand Opening Celebration of CrossWaterCreek Outfitters—the East Bay’s newest hub for fly fishing, connection, and conservation.
The article, “CrossWaterCreek Outfitters: Building a Community, One Cast at a Time,” published in California Fly Fisher Magazine, captures the day’s energy and the vision behind the shop’s creation. Founded by brothers Pat and Pete McCabe and their brother-in-law Chuck Walls, CrossWaterCreek is a family venture decades in the making—rooted in a shared passion for fly fishing, adventure, and the love of the great outdoors.
As described in the feature, CrossWaterCreek’s two-story space offers more than just premium gear—it includes a dedicated travel area in partnership with Hatch Travel, featuring fishing destinations near and far, a welcoming space for fly tying and Intro to Fly Fishing workshops, and an environment designed to bring anglers together. The shop embodies CrossWaterCreek’s core values of adventure, quality, conservation, expertise, and family, reflecting its commitment to both community and craft.
