Temple Fork Outfitters is pleased to announce two additions to its fly-fishing sales team: Peter Jordan of Grand Slam Group LLC and Peter Gadd of Blue Dun Sales.
Having recently purchased Grand Slam Group, Tom Jindra of New Orleans, La., has hired Peter Jordan of Daphne, Ala., to represent Temple Fork and other Grand Slam client companies in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. Grand Slam is a specialty fly-fishing company that also operates in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Oklahoma.
“Grand Slam was already in an enviable position with a tremendous selection of client companies and an equally great network of dealers,” Jindra said. “But the opportunity to bring Peter Jordan on board just compounds all the positives. He’s an incredible asset for everyone involved.
“We have an exciting future ahead of us.”

About Temple Fork Outfitters:
Our goal at TFO is to provide our anglers with tools properly fit to meet their needs, designed to last a lifetime, but won’t empty their pocketbooks. For more than two decades TFO has been the original rod company to offer the right tools at a sound price.
What does it mean to be original? For many, original means being “the first” to do something or being the mold from which copies are made. We often call these copies imitations. Temple Fork is neither a copy, nor an imitator.
For Temple Fork, being original has always been about setting the bar and creating the standard by which an angler weighs a rod’s performance against its price. And in fly fishing, we were the first to emphasize this relationship, becoming the original rod company to offer the right tools at a sound price. Learn more at, www.tforods.com
