Cole is an extremely knowledgeable and helpful guy; I just got started fly tying and I wouldn’t have wanted to shop anywhere else. 5 stars!!

Went to check out some Simms G3 waders and met with Brian the owner and it was a pleasure to receive such great service. Purchased waders and wader boots. Will definitely be returning to purchase more equipment.

What a horrible service! I left my fly rod to repair over a month ago. I have to say, very friendly staff. They took my name and told me that it would be 4 or 5 weeks. I agreed to it. I went to check on it twice and they told me “ oh yeah, it’s in process and it should be here soon, we will let you know when it gets back”. Today was about a month and a half and I went to check on my rod. I was very upset when the person at the counter told me they had not even sent it out to be repaired. “In fact, he said, you are better off taking it and send it yourself”. So much for wanting to use a local small business. Thank you Nomad Anglers!!! NOTTTTTT!

Professional and helpful, the employees at Nomad Anglers have helped me find the right gear and put me on fish on several occasions. Highly recommend!

Would have liked to rate five stars, but it should not be this hard to spend money at this store. I try to support local businesses as much as possible over ordering things online. My wife and I came in several weeks ago, I was looking for fly tying supplies and she bought wading boots and had one of the guys order some waders for her since they didn't have her size in stock. Weeks went by without any communication. My wife finally called them again to find out that the waders had never been ordered, and the person on the phone said they would get things sorted and call her back. Again she never received a call, and it has been several weeks since. Back to ordering online I guess.

They must want all the overpriced gear they sold you to get confiscated by the DNR they apparently can't be bothered to sell fishing licenses.

Quality fly fishing gear, well-stocked fly selection for various fisheries in Michigan, plenty of fly tying materials, and pleasant conversations with great people behind the counter of the shop. Close proximity to Michigan State University's campus in East Lansing. Highly recommend stopping in.

Stopped by on Saturday 12/17 at 1pm. The sign on the door said store hours 10-2. Store was closed. I drove a long way to spend money.

Terrible customer service.Ordered an item online, expecting to use item for an upcoming trip.No shipping notification for 6 days.No response to multiple emails.Finally issued refund with no information whatsoever. I asked what this was about and got a 2 worded response.

We went through a rough patch on a recent order that didn't go as planned. I may or may not get what I tried to order, but they reached out and made amends. I'm probably shopping in person from now on, but that's better for them anyway.Four stars for a well-stocked local fly shop in mid and west Michigan.

Good selection for a smaller shop, okay prices, good shop to go to for information on local streams/rivers. I've been going here for about a year and half and even bought a fairly expensive (to me) 8 weight rod and reel last year for pike/larger flies. Until today I haven't had a reason to complain. I walked in later today(2/15/22) and the guy seemed very informed on early year tactics and I told him I'm in the market for an inexpensive 11/12 weight rod and reel. He pulls out a 7/8 orvis reel and tries to tell me it's basically an 11 weight reel and I realize the drag systems may not scale up based on weight for some brands/applications/etc but I knew what I was in the market for for a reel. It upset me a bit to think he could try and sell me on a new reel that may or may not be able to hold all the line and backing I will need for my setup AND the drag I may need when the fish tries running off(MUSKY). They had a decent offer on an Echo Husky 11 weight rod and I was glad that it was an option for me but a bit out of my price range for a little bit.

Small store. Rarely open reliably. Most of the time I show up they're closed. Hours contradict whatever is posted anywhere online. Decent selection of materials when they can keep stock. Service is outstanding, but again, it's difficult to know when the shop is open.Edit. Hours are updated and my review went from 3 to 5 since it is now easier to plan trips while the business is open.

I met with Brian the owner of the shop. He gave me a really good deal on everything I needed and was patient bringing me up to loop on the new gadgets and fly fishing equipment. Being a spincast fisherman for many years and the guide on lake Michigan, I've always wanted to make that transition into fly fishing pain free. Brian was very knowledgeable and patient, and now I have everything I need with an understanding to go catch (and release) some nice trout. Located conveniently downtown East Lansing on the main drag, the store is very neat, and organized. A huge assortment of fly tying furs, feathers, and tools this is a very fine fly shop. Thanks Brian for your knowledge and patience I'll be back.
