Backwater Angler is a fly shop located near a great fishing area like the Gunpowder river. It is exactly what a fly shop should be, with a non-pretentious atmosphere and friendly, passionate staff who make visitors feel welcome. The shop has everything from top of the line gear to affordable, entry-level equipment and a good selection of flies. The employees provide fantastic advice, assistance, and guidance on everything from choosing flies and rigging rods to getting fishing licenses, making the process timely and simplistic. It is a convenient, highly respected place for gear or guidance of any kind.
Stopped there to get my fishing licence. Very personable owner who offered advice freely to a person who had never fished in Maryland. Shop had a good selection of fly fishing gear and flies. I recommend this shop and I will stop there again in the future.
