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.

Invasive Species can ruin the environment and cost us billions of dollars. It's up to each of us to take action to protect our waters from being invaded. Fortunately, the best thing we can do is very easy - we must make sure that we are as clean as possible when we move between waters. Be A Clean Angler: Inspect - Clean - Dry
