Concord Outfitters is located in historic West Concord, just a half mile from the Route 2 Rotary.  Since 1999, we have tried to provide our customers with the most innovative outdoor clothing and fly fishing gear.

We provide a number of different services at the shop: tying classes, casting lessons, beginner's fly fishing classes, as well as booking both local and international fly fishing expeditions.  Whether you're headed to the Berkshires or the Bahamas, we have the clothing and equipment to outfit you for a comfortable and successful trip.

At Concord Outfitters, the faces behind the register are the same faces you'll see crawling around our local streams or fishing the surf for bass and bluefish.  Andy, Melissa and Miles, have been fishing New England for over thirty years and if you don't find them in the store you'll find them out on the water testing gear with the hope to better advise you for your next outdoor experience.
