Hammers, Dust, and Thanks
From the entire Nomad Anglers team, we would like to give our sincerest apologies to the Nomad faithful and thank each and every one of you for your patience. With the addition and building/setting-up, of our new shop in Grand Rapids we have done a poor job of keeping you all entertained and informed. Now that we have put the hammers away, swept up the dust and got many of the opening elements behind us, we made it a priority improve our web experience. In the next few months we will be unveiling some new programs and features that I am sure you will all appreciate.
Let me again thank you for your continued readership and we look forward providing content that makes Nomad Anglers great.
As always feel free to give us a shout at either location if you have suggestions, comments, concerns, or questions. We realize we are not perfect, so some requests from our readers always helps!
Tight Lines,
Nomad Anglers Staff and Pets

Pre-Work Fish
The best part about having a store in Grand Rapids is its proximity to good water. Nothing like going out a getting a few steel before the store opens in the morning!
