"Couldn't Be Happier"
"Blew out my boots right before an out of town trip and my local shops didn't have what I was looking for. Found The Compleat Angler through the manufacturer and called the shop. Awesome friendly service, and two days later my new boots were at my doorstep. Couldn't be happier. Thanks so much."

"The Best of the Best"
"I’ve been to hundreds of fly shops. When it comes to knowledge, service and product The Compleat Angler is the best of the best. Amazing group of staff, all passionate about the sport and willing to help with everything from tying, trips, gear, fishing spots, everything."
Hunter Huebsch
"The most knowledgeable staff I have come across"
"This is the greatest fly shop around! They had everything I was looking for and they even ordered me something I was looking for and got in a week! Great staff, atmosphere, and selection, especially if you want the best or hard-to-find in the industry. This shop has the most knowledgeable staff I have come across. Prices are very good as well. Great experience all around."

"Genuinely interested in where I fished and what I caught"
A great new store and staff with a LOT of gear. They are genuinely interested in where I fished and what I caught. A minimum of three guys are working all the time- usually Scott the owner, Bob, and Forrest. They provide personal assistance and unlimited time and attention every time I am there. Forrest and Scott (the owner) provide intel on the local waters and will sit with me at their desks and pull up Google earth to map out the best fishing spots. What a great resource less than 15 minutes from my home.

"They Earned A Customer For Life"
Top notch customer service. My husband asked for a set of Simms waders like I got last year for our first wedding anniversary. I had the hardest time finding his size. I found it through Compleat Angler but unfortunately sold out before my order was completed. Scott called me and told me he was sending me this years versions instead. A big company would have just cancelled my order. There really is something to be said for shopping at small business. They earned a customer for life. He got to use his waders today and he’s beyond thrilled. Can’t recommend enough.

Northeast Fishing Report 8/7/26
Hello Compleat Angler Friends! While the summer doldrums are definitely here to stay, fishing remains consistent for striped bass out East and on the reefs in the Sound. Smaller fish are being spotted between Montauk and Newport, which is a great sign given the state of the striper fishery. Trout fishing has slowed in most rivers with the exception of the Farmington, which, thanks to being fed by cold water, is producing a solid bite.
Northeast Fishing Report 7/31/26
Hello Compleat Angler Friends! That midweek "nor'easter" wasn't as disruptive as originally forecasted, and in fact, lit up a pretty solid striper bite in addition to the full moon. While some rivers are certainly still blown out, flows should start to return to more manageable levels by the end of this weekend, and with cooler temperatures and drier air on the way, heat- and angler-pressured trout will get a well-deserved respite. A reminder: although trout may always be the goal, giving them a much-needed break is a good idea. Heat-tolerant species such as largemouth, smallmouth, and carp can be an amazingly fun substitution during summer months. So tie on a craw pattern, hit a creek or a local pond, and enjoy!
Northeast Fishing Report 7/24/26
Hello Compleat Angler Friends! We hope you survived the deluge from earlier this week. Massive rainstorms across the state have blown out rivers and left basements flooded and spirits dashed. Thankfully, the inclement weather ushered in some cooler, bighter weather, so fishing should steadily improve throughout this weekend and into next week. Despite the rain, heat, and humidity, we've heard some great reports from our regulars about the Farmington River, which has stayed cool thanks to the dam. The Sound is still finicky, with out east being the reliable hotspot for stripers. Still, big bass can be found in the early evenings and at night, as they push up from the reefs to feed.
