Welcome back to Fly Shop Tour, our tentpole series in which we explore the country through fly shops and the angling communities surrounding them. This year’s season takes place in the Northeast—an area rich with fly fishing history. We explored the incredible fly shops, communities, and fisheries of Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, and Pennsylvania. Seven states, thousands of miles, and a few fish along the way.
In episode 3, host and founder of Flylords, Jared Zissu, heads to the Big Apple, New York City, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. Follow along as the Flylords crew kicks things off in Rhode Island, with Saltwater Edge fishing for striped bass before continuing to Compleat Angler in Connecticut. From there, Jared hits the road to New York City, the city that never sleeps, in search of the most unique fly shop we’ve visited, Urban Angler. But what trip to the city is complete without checking out the local scenery and Central Park, this time with carp on the mind. Tune in to episode 3 to see what the Empire State has in store.
