"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."
Jennifer Schafer
"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 7/17/2026
Hello Compleat Angler Friends! Things have been hot, hazy, and quiet this week. With the freakishly poor air quality thanks to the fires up north, staying off the river might be wise. While trout are still being taken on local rivers, switching to species better equipped for the warm water conditions might be more ethical. Think smallmouth, largemouth, carp, and even panfish. Nothing fights harder than a solid bluegill on a butter stick! Striped bass are still playing hard to get in the Sound, not unusual for July, but hopefully the recent new moon cycle shook things up for the better.

Northeast Fishing Report 7/10/26
Hello Compleat Angler Friends! We hope you had a fun and restful July 4th! Fishing in the western Sound has slipped into the summer doldrums, while the recent rainfall has helped improve the trout and smallmouth bite across our rivers to the north. The evening dry fly bite has been very productive on rivers such as the Farmington, and for stripers, the eastern sound is still reliably producing quality bass, although they are starting to push deep with the warmer temperatures.
