Opening Soon for Fishing Season 2026…
A fly shop for you.
BrattleFly is a gathering place for people who fish — and for people who haven’t started yet but are curious what all the fuss is about. Local anglers share what they know here. Beginners ask questions without embarrassment. Nobody’s trying to sell you anything you don't need.
Know your fishery.
The Connecticut River defines this town. The West River meets it at the north end of downtown. Between them, there are smallmouth bass, northern pike, carp, and water that most fly anglers have never thought twice about.
That's about to change.
BrattleFly offers instruction, guided trips, and the kind of local knowledge that doesn’t live on the internet — for first-timers, for kids, and for anyone who’s driven past these rivers for years and wondered what’s in them. Come find out.
Help us build this.
This shop has to become what its community needs it to be in order to last.
BrattleFly is new, and we’re listening. If you live here, fish here, or grew up near these rivers, your read on what this place should be matters more than any business plan. Show up. Tell us what’s missing. Bring a kid who needs to get off a screen and onto a riverbank.
We’re building something worth sticking around for. That only works if you’re in on it.
