Virginia's Fly Fishing Outfitter Since 1995

“I’ve been fly-fishing for over 40 years and have fished the world and seen hundreds of fishing shops…Albermarle angler is THE greatest fishing store I’ve ever been to. It’s not large but everything in it is everything you’d want from top notch waders, boots, an entire spectrum of rods and reels - from very affordable entry level pieces to top of the line heirloom worthy rods/reels. The collection of clothing is top notch with Tom Becke, Filson, Orvis, to name a few. Luggage, fishing packs, flies, lines, leaders….its endless. The BEST part of this store is the staff and the personalized attention you get. There is no sale pressure just genuine help wanting to make sure you are comfortably geared up to enjoy this wonderful sport. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this store. I shopped there from out of town while visiting my daughter and will absolutely stop back and load up every time I’m in Charlottesville!”

“Albemarle Angler always has and answer to my fishing-related questions from "where are they biting" to "do y'all give lessons" to "can you take us fishing next week." Super pleasant. Super easy. Really dialed in to their home waters. A great shop staffed by great folks.”

“This shop is a gem for anyone who loves fly fishing. The owner is incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and always ready to help you find exactly what you need—whether you’re a seasoned angler or just getting started. High-quality gear, great local tips, and a welcoming vibe every time. Can’t recommend it enough!”
