Have been coming to Craig and staying at the Trout Shop on and off for years. Great accommodations, amenities for travelers (laundry, WiFi, great beds, etc) and Izaajs pub across road has all you’ll need it weather is hot or cold (French Onion soup) and bar. Fly shop has whatever I needed and more, gear, flies, guides and lunches for your float trip where the BigMo, which will never disappoint you or your group. Good wildlife too, big bucks, eagles fighting, and those blue wing teal flocks. This is why I keep returning. Bring a friend(s) , they’ll thank you for it. Tom/BostonRooms: Very accommodatingNearby activities: 1 min Walk to allWalkability: Couldn’t be betterFood & drinks: Across the road

Everything you need! One stop shop. Get your place to stay, your guide and anything you forgot you need! I happened on a fantastic Patagonia rain jacket that was out of sale online. Yay me. The lodge is better than expected, clean, quiet and roomy. Come to Craig! Fish your heart out.

If you use these folks to shuttle or transport your vehicle and or trailer, beware. They have no respect for your property. They drive like idiots and pay no attention to speed limits, other drivers, or pedestrian traffic. All they are concerned with is moving as many vehicles from point A to point B as fast as the vehicle will carry them.

On the Missouri there is no better. Top notch fly shop. Excellent place to get lunches and river beverages. Their kitchen and deli is most impressive. Most tasty Italian sandwich I've had. Their help is sooo good. You need it, they accommodate. They made my day on the first step in the door. They hooked me up with guide Paul Bloch. The river Yoda is what he is. Hire him you should. He's a fish Yoda. Jedi language for Paul. You rock!

This review is for their on-line store. I admit I was a little apprehensive about buying from this place online, since it is a small store in a small town--was this really legit? But since they had reviews on Yelp and I could see there was a physical store on Google Maps, I decided to give it a try. And I am glad I did. I got a Patagonia jacket on sale, and because it was more than $50 shipping was free (via USPS). The item arrived within a day that it was promised--and it was exactly what I ordered. Thanks Trout Shop!!

My Wife I used the shuttle service to kayak on the Missouri. I asked the clerk how far we could go in five hours. He said stickney creek FAS. That was fine with us as I said we were new on this river. Mind you, we are senior citizens and are not out to break any records. One hour later we were at stickeny creek, much to our disapointment. Luckly they had moved our truck faster than we anticipated. The advice the clerk gave us was not even close to what it should have been. I do believe he should have known that stickney was way too short for a day trip. We went to Holter lake and paddled around. Next time we will take two cars and by pass the Trout Shop. Maybe The Trout Shop dosen't like to do shuttle service. Let the buyer beware.

Helpful staff, got a guided trip set up for a day, caught a few fish, but our guide was critical and even demeaning; he needs to learn some patience when dealing with people. Unfortunately it made the whole experience a negative one that cost a lot of money.
