Local Fly Shops Boise:
Nestled in the heart of the Gem State, the Boise area is not only renowned for its stunning landscapes and outdoor recreational opportunities but also for its thriving fly fishing community. Fly fishing enthusiasts can find anything they are looking for at one of the local boise fly shops. Boise boasts a trio of great fly shops, each with its unique charm and expertise.
In this article I cast a spotlight on these three local fly shops. All three are pillars of Boise’s fly fishing scene: Idaho Angler, ANGLERS Fly Shop, and TRR Outfitters. They are also where I buy a lot of my best flies.
These establishments do more than just sell fly fishing gear. They are hubs of knowledge, camaraderie, and a place of shared passion for the art of fly fishing.
Join us as we explore these hubs of Boise’s fly fishing culture.
Idaho Angler:
In the picturesque heart of downtown Boise, the Idaho Angler set sail on its fly fishing journey in June 1993. Founded by four friends deeply immersed in the world of fly fishing.
Their vision was born from their experiences across the western U.S., Alaska, and various saltwater destinations. Drawing inspiration from exceptional fly shops all around the nation. They envisioned creating a fly shop that not only offered an extensive array of products but also one that prioritized exceptional customer service, fishing knowledge, and a welcoming atmosphere. Since their inception, they have embraced vision completely.
In 1999, they built a new store on Vista Avenue, featuring more space, an outdoor casting area, and improved customer access.
