guide Michael L. has horrible service. While the store may be wonderful and so is orvis I would be weary of doing a guided trip as the guide expects extra compensation upfront. Making it not worth the price, Might not get the Orvis experience one has come to expect from such a great product line.

Tiny store with amazing service! It's a partial Orvis store- just the fly fishing section, but you can ship things in and try them on there.

The go to place for the best in fly fishing gear and accessories. The staff and guides are the best and most knowledgeable around. One day with them is like getting a bachelors degree in flyfishing. everything about Northwest Outfitters is first class. You will not be disappointed.

Great shop with an incredible selection of equipment,and the customer service is even better than that. Theresa over at the shop took her time with me on fly selection, knot tying, casting, where to fish, what line to use, so many things to get me started. Walking in from the get I'm sure she read the writing on the wall. New guy to the sport, no clue what he's doing....and I was more than fine with her being absolutely correct. But what she did from there was beyond kindness, all I can say is I appreciate my time spent with you and all your help and patience. I'm so thankful for your introduction into this sport, thank you for your time that day...and the day after.

We booked a day trip with Teresa. It was my first time fly fishing - and my husband is fairly new at it as well. Teresa was incredibly patient and a great teacher. She was knowledgeable about which flies to use and great spots to go. She made our time on the water fun and a great learning experience. Highly recommend.

Enjoying a three day visit to the Couer d'Alene river, and Northwest Outfitters has set up my wife and I with great guides and have a really nice shop. Great guidance and a little bit teaching from both Mike Lederman and Garrett Skelton made the trip special.One caveat - these are wade-walk trips and the stoney riverbed is slippery as ice if you're wearing rubber soled shoes! Mike and Garrett both brought felt soled boots, but if you have your own bring them, not the rubber soled wading sandles I have!

Last week, my father and I enjoyed a full-day fishing trip guided by Michael Lederman. Michael carried a great energy through the whole day and proved his experience in all regards. He is affable, patient, and an excellent teacher that shows deep respect for the resource. We learned much and look forward to future guided trips with him. Thank you, Michael!

Went in and told them I know nothing about fly fishing and wanting to get into it. They gave me all the advice I was looking for and told me what I should use. Definitely recommend! Very nice guys.

Our guided trip was by far the funnest day of fly fishing I have ever had, and also turned my dad into a new fly fishing addict.We did a half day walk and wade on the North Fork with Michael as our guide.I myself have been fly fishing on and off for close to a decade (but struggled to have good success on local waters), and brought my dad who has never fished a proper river until today. Within minutes michael had both of us hooking cutthroat on dry flies. We learned invaluable knowledge on all aspects of fly fishing, that will undoubtably translate to more fun and success on future unguided days. Worth every penny!I will be doing another guided trip through them in the future, and cannot recommend them enough!

Great experience! I took the two day class and the following weekend went on a half day guided trip with Michael Lederman, and caught a nice sized cutthroat trout! Great time at the class, guided trip, and shop. Highly recommend!

I can’t say enough good things about Northwest Outfitters. Every time I go in they’re so helpful and super informative, and they truly care about your growth and improvement in fly fishing.I recently went out on a guided trip with Ryan and had one of my best days on the river. My eyes were opened to so many new things that I would have never have known without his help. And I walked away feeling like a better fisherman.For anyone looking for a shop or guided service in the area, I’d 100% recommend Northwest Outfitters.

My sons and I have fished with Ryan and Nick from Orvis several days last summer. These guys worked tirelessly through two days of great fishing on the North Fork. They fished with three virtual beginners and one old guy (me). They put us on a lot of fish but more importantly, they patiently taught my boys the art of fly fishing. Gonna be in the shop soon to get lined up for many more days on the North Fork this coming summer. Kent B, Spokane

We had an excellent day fishing with Teresa and Greg. They were both incredibly knowledgeable and helpful- perfectly hands-on for both the novices and experienced fly fishermen in our group. They took us to a gorgeous spot and we caught fish all day. Beyond their expertise, they were both fun and easy to talk with and we all genuinely enjoyed spending the day with them. We didn’t want the day to end! All of us woke up the next day talking about how great our trip was. Can’t recommend them enough! Thanks to both of them for a fabulous day.
