More a clothing store than a fly fishing shop, but high quality clothing. Very limited fly fishing gear.

Great Orvis Shop! People were very nice and helpful. They offer fly tying classes and I'm happy to see that!

Always a pleasant experience to come to this location and pick up guides choice flies. The workers are always polite and helpful. Really recommend going here if you need some gear or just want to ask for some advice from the workers who practice what they preach.

This is more of big chain clothing store for “lifestyle” and image instead of a real fly shop, staffed with regular retail workers instead of actual pros/enthusiasts. Many items have no pricing on them, I guess they just expect you buy things without knowing the cost. Very old fashioned clothing, I guess you can try to call it classic but I find it bland and expensive even when compared to well known fishing brands or Patagonia. flies have no description or size info. Only the pro model waders were on display, that and a few boots. If you’re a tourist looking for a convenient big box bundle experience or just want to dress like you fly fish then this could be for you, it’s conveniently located next to bars, restaurants and other retail shops. As for the true fly fisherman/lady, skip this place and go directly to the Northern Angler’s fly shop, they are much much more knowledgeable and fly fish oriented. Orvis is just an clothing store that also sells mediocre rods and reels

We did a full day float trip with Phil, he was an outstanding guide. Both in the boat with streamers, and wading out of the boat with nymphs, Phil had us on the fish. But more importantly, Phil taught us a lot about fly fishing during the day. And not to mention we all had a lot of fun! We would not hesitate to fish with Phil again.

All the great outdoor brands are here! The gentleman at the counter was very kind and let me know he does fly fishing classes throughout the summer and will do river ecology classes in the spring. Got a cool Patagonia hat for a cool price.

I went with Mike on a half day trip fishing the upper Manistee. Mike's skill and knowledge resulted in a successful and fun trip in which I landed my first Brown Trout. Thanks for a memorable and fun day on the upper Manistee

The Intro to Flyfishing class at Orvis Streamside is a winner! Its good for folks brand new to flyfishing, as well as more experienced anglers. Everyone learns something valuable. Dave Leonard offers an informative, entertaining presentation on all the essentials to get on the stream and have fun. Located in downtown Traverse City, you can combine this class with a family weekend in the most beautiful spot in the world.Rich Bruder

This place was out of a lot of items over prices and sold older models. Not worth the time or money

This was the first time for my friend Carl and I to go salmon fishing, we went with Mike Dunckley, super nice guy and great guide. We had a great day on the Betsie and hooked several fish even with high water that looked like chocolate milk. We will definitely be back and hopefully Mike will be available.I also can't say enough about the guys at the Orvis shop, we stopped there after our second day fishing and they were incredibly helpful, with stream information and fly selections. We even were able to catch a couple of Brown trout on the Boardman.
