Mayodan Outdoor Sports
Owner Scott Dalton and his wife Tiffanie are Rockingham County natives and opened the store in 2014. “I grew up on the rivers in Eden and had a fishing rod in my hands since the time I could walk, said Dalton. “I love anything and everything outdoors and I wanted to share this passion with other people.” The couple says they wanted to open an outdoor store to give the people of Rockingham County somewhere local to shop for supplies. As an avid fisherman and all-around outdoorsman, Scott also felt he could share his vast knowledge about Rockingham County’s rivers, fishing spots and paddling to residents and visitors. Mayodan Outdoor Sports sells a variety of supplies for fishing and hunting--from rods and reels, fishing line,
hooks, floats and all kinds of accessories. They also carry live bait, and Dalton builds custom fishing rods. The store is a federal firearm licensed business offering a full line of ammunition, special order firearms, and dealer transfers. Mayodan Outdoor Sports is a North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission License Agent so they can sell hunting and fishing licenses and conduct vessel registrations. The store is also an outfitter providing kayak, canoe, inner
tube and stand up paddle board rentals. “Rockingham County’s rivers offer different styles to people at different levels. We are trying to get people outdoors to enjoy them, to unplug and have fun,” added Dalton. Mayodan Outdoor Sports also carries a variety of outdoor apparel, footwear, and accessories. The store sells well-known outdoor brands such as Yeti, Calcutta, ENO, Salt Life, and Sanuk to name a few. They also carry several lines of North Carolina and southern themed tee shirts. In addition to the items sold in the store, Dalton also provides regular fishing reports and condition updates on the shop’s website.
