The Northern Angler is located in downtown Traverse City, Michigan which was named by Field and Stream in 2008 as the 3rd best fishing town in America and in 2005 was on Fly Rod and Reel Magazine's list of the top 12 retirement towns for
fly fisherman in the country. Just over an hour's drive from the shop could find you on one of nearly a dozen blue ribbon trout streams including the AuSable, Manistee, Boardman, and Jordan rivers. Add to that we are minutes from some world class smallmouth bass and carp
fishing on the flats of Grand Traverse Bay as well as countless inland lakes for bass, pike, and panfish and you can see why Traverse City is a
fly fisher's paradise.
The Northern Angler was founded in 2003 with the idea that
fly fishing is not just for the rich or the very experienced and that fly fishing is not just for trout. We carry all of the gear that any
fly fisher might need from the $100 beginner combo to the high end rods and reels. The Northern Angler is an authorized Simms, Sage, Rio, Redington, Scientific Anglers, Fishpond, Waterworks Lamson and Ross Fly Reels dealer. We carry an extensive selection of flies for every species: trout, warm water, saltwater, you name it, if it swims, we have a fly for it.
We received a significant surge of rainfall Thursday and more is forecast for Friday raising water levels and providing ideal conditions for even more Salmon to enter local rivers.
