What a great shop! I was in Stowe for the weekend and wanted to try to find a few spots while I was in the area. The guy working there was extremely knowledgeable, nice, and gave me some great spots to check out. Even got to fish some wild trout in the area. Thanks guys!

Wow, what an experience! I tried other shops to try and book a birthday trip for my future wife and all were flaky and didn’t get back to me. The Stowe Fly Rod shop not only get us in last minute but made us feel welcome and got us stoked to learn fly fishing. Coming in with zero knowledge we had no expectations except hopefully catching a fish(✅) Our super experienced guide Matt knew the best holes, knew how to coach and teach different learning styles and gave us an unforgettable experience on the river. Thank you Matt for having the patience, positivity and river of passion for fishing! Can’t wait to get out there again with the SFRS!!!

Excellent adventure for the family! With Steph and Sam as our guides, our family spent a half day fly fishing. We had a lesson and then paired up with the guides for a relaxing day. They knew the choice spots and we caught a dozen Brookies. The shop provided new, high quality gear and made everything a perfect day. Highly recommended!!

We had such a great time fly fishing with our guide while we were visiting VT. We went to a small river and got to practice the skills we learned at the pond behind the shop beforehand.The shop has tons of fishing gear and equipment, and a super friendly staff.

Amazing place to go ice fishing. My wife and I loved it. We had the best guide ever. I hope too see him again when I come back out there. It was definitely worth the price and me and my wife caught all together 16 or 17 small fish and 2 huge fish.

Lovely staff and a great selection. Wish they had Orvis products being a Vermont fly store but an overall great place to stop for any fly fisherman in the area.

This was my first time fly fishing. My fishing guide, Matt, was kind and patient with me. We started out at the pond at the back of the shop learning the different casts. Then it was off to the river. I have vestibular migraine, so walking on rocks in the water was hard with my dizzies because of the unstable footing, but Matt always held out a hand to keep me steady plus, he gave me a wading pole which was a big help as well. Matt was good with answering all of the fly fishing questions I had as well as questions about the local geography and history.It didn't take long to catch and release my 13" trout! Matt was more excited than me! I did have a few other trout "on," but they got away. I could have stayed in the water all day casting not even concerned if I had any bites or not. It was relaxing and therapeutic listening to the sound of the water going by.I would highly recommend The Fly Rod Shop in Stowe. I always thought I'd have to go out West to fly fish, but I am so happy to have found Matt and this shop. It was the highlight of my trip to Vermont. I'm planning on fly fishing trips with Matt in the future.

Not possible for this shop to get any better, honestly. Good product, good advice, and always willing to hang out on the phone and answer questions and lend a hand.Simply the best. Better than all the rest. Better than any shop, at least any shop I've ever met.

My 12 year old son and I had a really excellent day together fly fishing with Matt, our guide from The Fly Rod Shop. Matt was really knowledgable, personable, and most importantly, patient (really important to me because of all of the trees that i "caught").My son said it was the best activity we had ever done in the Stowe area, and we come here almost every year.Thank you Matt, and The Fly Rod Shop.
