Joey Puettman, founder and CEO, firmly believes that hard work pays off with rewarding results. What truly sets his shop apart is its captivating custom rod-building classes, led by Joey himself every Tuesday and Thursday evening. These classes are more than just instructional sessions; they are cultural experiences, drawing in folks of all ages, from nine-year-old beginners to seasoned seventy-year-old anglers. At the heart of Sheridan Fly Rod Co. lies Joey’s renowned custom fly rods, a testament to his craftsmanship honed for over two decades. But the shop is more than just Joey’s creations; it is a celebration of local male artisans.

Despite the ongoing construction along Main Street, Joey remains optimistic, recognizing the long-term benefits it will bring despite the temporary inconveniences. He extends his gratitude to the City of Sheridan, city council members, and the Downtown Sheridan Association (DSA) for their unwavering support, a sentiment.

SPOTLIGHT | LEGACY DIAMOND AND GEMS
Established on May 4th, 1964, Kraft’s Jewelry began its journey when Richard Kraft shifted gears from watchmaking to pursuing his passion for the world of fine jewelry in downtown Sheridan. Joined by his sons, Steve and Tom Kraft, in the early 1980s, the business flourished under their stewardship. In 1996, Steve began the process of acquiring the business from his father, leading it successfully until his retirement in 2017. In 2018, a new chapter unfolded as Spencer Kraft and his uncle, Tom Kraft, assumed ownership, rebranding the establishment as Legacy Diamond & Gems. Their vision was to bring a fresh life into the store with an interactive bridal center. In 2019, Tom became the sole owner of Legacy Diamond & Gems and initiated additional modernization efforts. Tom seized the golden opportunity during the main street construction to breathe new life into the store with a dazzling renovation in 2023. With Tom’s expertise as a GIA Graduate Gemologist and over four decades of experience, the store prides itself on offering unparalleled service, repairs, and custom jewelry. As they commemorate 60 years in the heart of downtown Sheridan, they invite you to celebrate their weeklong anniversary celebration from June 18th to June 22nd, featuring exclusive specials and surprises.
