Concord Outfitters

Based on the reviews I came to gear up for some local fishing, but the doors were locked at 3:40 PM on a Monday, with no sign saying when they would re-​open or why they were closed. Posted store hours said they should be open until 6:00 PM! What gives?!

I am rather new to fly fishing. So why not take a class on tying flies! Last night’s three hour beginners’ course was really great. Dave Skok covered everything a beginner needs to know and more. Class was limited to six people which ensured we all received the one-​on-​one time we needed. We all tied three different flies which covered most of the different materials and skills we will need to continue on our own. The shop is gorgeous and the rest of the staff are friendly. I’ll be shopping here for all my supplies from now on…

Ambience and I have mentioned this in many of my reviews for restaurants but can you have this factor in a retail store. Well a fly shop must have ambience. Think there is ambience at Dick’s Sporting goods… nope. They try at Bass Pro but it is all glitz. You need professionals who fish all the time to give you the necessary advice to catch trout and stripers. I look at supporting your local fly shop or any town store as well a responsibility to the merchant. If the quality is good the prices fair why go on-​line or all the way to Foxboro. Think of this outfitter as your local pro shop at the country club. Fly selection is perfect for NE waters both sweet and salt. I’ve purchased flies here that have saved the day in Great Exuma when the bones wanted nothing other that gold eyes and a pink pattern. Andy knows his stuff and it shows when you ask «if he’s been fishing.»
I’ve purchased 4 fly rods, Abel reels and Christmas gifts for many.
So very cool place, the Patagonia selection is good and they will order anything you need from the catalogue.
Parking…sneak behind the store or walk up from the Post Office.

Fly Fishing is my passion and love which makes me lucky to have a shop like this so close to where I live. Concord Outfitters has knowledgeable, friendly staff that has just as much excitement for fly fishing and the outdoors as I do. Slipped into a unique store front, it is located in the up and coming area of West Concord. This is a unique spot to tell fishing stories, pick up the latest fishing gear or buy the newest Patagonia jacket.
