"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 6/12/26
Hello Compleat Angler Friends! Summer weather is here, and with it a boxed bag of emotions. On the one hand, the heat feels wonderful, but on the other, the increased temperatures are starting to shut down the trout bite in some of our local freestones. The good news is that striped bass fishing continues to improve as more fish settle into their summer haunts. There is a plethora of bait around, from squid to bunker, and even sand eels. The best bite window is early morning and evening near the usual hot spots, but always look for water moving from point A to point B.
Northeast Fishing Report 6/5/26
Hello Compleat Angler Friends! After a wild previous weekend, we are back into a nice pattern of summer weather. Southwest breezes, sunshine, and high temps are going to dominate the forecast for the next few days, so take advantage before the rain sneaks back up! Trout fishing has started to fall into its summer pattern, with dry fly and nymphs landing a majority of the fish. Freshwater largemouth and smallmouth are eating with more regularity, especially as they move off beds and into their summer patterns. Their ocean brethren, the striped bass, seem to have finally shaken off the cold weather from the last two weeks, and are taking a variety of offerings in the sound.

Northeast Fishing Report 5/29/26
Hello Compleat Angler Friends! Memorial Day left us wet, cold, and miserable. Thankfully, spring is back this week, and along with it, the bite. Fishing in the Sound suffered from the temperature slump, pushing striped bass deep to escape the gloom. As things warm up, they should start moving back close to shore. There is no shortage of bait around, so it's just about being in the right place at the right time (and tide.) Sadly, there has been a shortage of juvenile striped bass mixed in with the larger fish, which doesn’t bode well for this year’s recruitment. Hopefully we will see increased schoolies numbers as the season trickles on, but for right now, we only have big fish to play with.
Trout fishing was buoyed by the change in weather, with more water and cooler temperatures helping to kick off some hatches and spread out wild fish.
