The Avid Angler
Lake Forest Park, Washington
The Avid Angler is a full-service fly shop in Lake Forest Park, Washington that has been trading since 1975 and runs a guide desk alongside its retail counter. Its guided programme is organised by water rather than by package, covering the Yakima, Skagit, Stillaguamish, Sauk, Cedar and Cowlitz in addition to the two Snohomish-system rivers nearest the city, so a booking can be steered to whichever river is in shape on the day. The shop also hosts travel trips further afield, to Montana, Alaska, British Columbia and Oregon. Rates, inclusions and the per-additional-angler charge are published for each water on the shop’s own site, and the store keeps regular retail hours six days a week.
