Ronn and Donna Johnson, a longtime Lawrence couple, purchased Yager’s Fly Shop last month from founders Tim and Deb Yager.

The Johnsons will continue to operate the nine-year-old business at its retail home for the past two years in the Miller Mart complex at the southwest corner of Clinton Parkway and Wakarusa Drive.

In addition, the shop’s online business, www. yagersflies. com, will continue to serve fly-fishing enthusiasts across the nation.

The shop will retain its established name and hours: 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays; and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays.

Ronn Johnson has been employed by a local utility company for nearly 30 years.

Donna Johnson has been a financial adviser for David M. King and Associates for nearly 18 years.

Ronn Johnson’s passion for fly fishing and fly tying spans more than two decades. That, coupled with his wife’s business experience, made the purchase a natural, the Johnsons said.
