Welcome to the Shop

Welcome to the North Country Angler, “The Biggest Little Fly Shop in New Hampshire”. We are located in North Conway, New Hampshire, in the shadow of Mount Washington. The Saco and Ellis Rivers, two of the best fly fishing rivers in the East, are a short cast from our door step. The North Country Angler has been in the “Valley” for over forty years. We are a full service fly shop offering quality fly fishing gear and guiding. In addition to being a licensed Orvis dealer we stock a large selection of other quality name brands. We are authorized dealers for Scott, and Temple Fork Outfitters rods. We are proud to sell Ross, Hardy, Waterworks/Lamson and Hatch reels. Our fly lines include: Air Flow, Cortland, Scientific Anglers and Wulff. Other well known brands include: Fishpond, Loon, Dr. Slick and Montana Fly. Last season we added Simms waders and boots to our product line. With over 700 patterns we have one of the largest selections of flies in New Hampshire. Our fly tying selection is the best in the North Country. HMH, Regal, Peak, Regal vices and tools, Wapsi, Spirit River, Hairline and Whitting to name only a few of the brands we carry. Although we try to post up to date stream reports, in season, on this site please do not hesitate to call us for up to the minute fishing information. All of our staff are licensed New Hampshire fishing guides and stand ready to answer your questions on local conditions as well as any question you may have on equipment. Thank you for visiting our web site and when in the “Valley” please visit us at the shop.

Invasive Species can ruin the environment and cost us billions of dollars. It's up to each of us to take action to protect our waters from being invaded. Fortunately, the best thing we can do is very easy - we must make sure that we are as clean as possible when we move between waters. Be A Clean Angler: Inspect - Clean - Dry

The Coming Season

By Bill Thompson

Slowly, but surely we are closing in on spring, opening day for salmon season is only twenty-four days away. I guess that it is safe to say that ice-out may take a little longer. Fishing fever is starting to spread and judging by the many anglers we talked to this past weekend at the New Hampshire Fly Fishing Show, a lot of people can’t wait. I had two Emails this week, from folks from away, inquiring about fishing the Saco next week. Sadly I had to inform them that the prospects were dim. “Wait until Memorial Day”, I tell them.
