What's Happening


Celebrating Our 10th Year

2012 will mark our 10th anniversary as owners of the North Country Angler. For the last ten years Janet and I have enjoyed your loyal patronage and we sincerely thank you for making the North Country Angler your fly shop. It is our sincere hope that you will continue to support us in our efforts to make it another ten years. In celebration of our 10th year we are making a few changes. We will be adding some new exciting product lines and hosting some specials events during the coming year.

As part of our 10th year anniversary, we've had our web site updated to a slightly new, cleaner look. We know you loved the old site and hope you embrace the new one as well.

Bill, Janet, and Summer

st croix logo

Advanced Reinforcing Technology® (ART®) is the latest innovation to come out of our engineering department and go into their rods. Beginning with Legend Elites and Ultras, St. Croix has perfected the process of adding strength at critical points without sacrificing weight or increasing rod diameter. The secret? Wrap an exceptionally thin layer of graphite fibers around the rod to increase hoop strength. The last thing you want on the water is for your rod to go flat.

Lamson began to develop product ideas and explore the fly fishing market in 1995. After a long weekend with dead fish in the bathtub, designer Mark Farris emerged with a tool capable of reducing fish mortality by eliminating netting and handling. We called this the Ketchum Release, a play on the name of our home town of Ketchum, Idaho. It was an immediate success. Late in 1998, we acquired Lamson from Sage Manufacturing. Lamson reels had established a well-deserved reputation in the 1980’s and 90’s for being the first fully machined quality reel at an affordable price. The "LP" design became the standard of it’s time and sold for a very reasonable price. We now produce a full line of reels.
