Here at The Local Fisherman somebody very important to us used to say “What’s wrong with helping the little guy?”. That’s pretty much our motto around here.  In today’s atmosphere of what we like to call corporate sport fishing so much of the feeling about what we all enjoy doing has been lost. The basic connection we all strive have with the outdoors has been fogged over by large companies and organizations – our sense of adventure has become a “what we’re told to do” and not a “what I’m going to do today”.

We hope in our store and blog pages you’ll find the fishing guide that will lead you to “the big one”…the lake, river or stream where you’ll find your peace of mind and escape from the everyday…or the next legendary fly, lure or rod – handmade and personalized by a craftsmen near you with the finest intent, dedication and patience we all have in us as we pursue that perfect experience we’ll remember for the rest of our lives.
