My Ocean Springs: 2007 in Pictures

Kim Westman stands outside her workplace, Chandeleur Outfitters, in downtown Ocean Springs, the only fly shop on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Rob Recio lived in San Francisco, dreaming of owning his own fishing business. After seeing Chandeleur for sale on-line, he made the trip to Ocean Springs and instantly fell in love with the quietness of the area. Recio sold everything and made the move to Ocean Springs two years ago. Chandeleur Outfitters offers guided fishing tours, specializing in shallow water sight casting for trophy redfish, but the store offers a haven for all fishermen to come to swap stories and shop the latest lines of outdoor apparel.
