The Northern Angler Fly Shop
Traverse City, Michigan
The Northern Angler is a fly shop at 426 West Front Street in Traverse City, Michigan, selling guided trips alongside its retail counter on 231-933-4730. Its guiding covers the Manistee River and Grand Traverse Bay as well as the Betsie, so the shop can put a client on trout water, big-water steelhead or a bay flat depending on the week. It also sells casting lessons at 75 dollars an hour, and holds a booking with a 250 dollar deposit. Because it is a shop rather than a single guide, trips are arranged over the counter and a guide is then assigned, which makes it a practical option for a visitor who arrives in town without a plan.
