So I walked in the other day ready to buy an Osprey backpack. There was 3 gentlemen standing at the counter and the younger (~27 y/o) guy came over to give me a hand. I told him specifically, I want to be fitted for a backpack. He said he could just tell 100% I was a small, and did not bother measuring or have me try anything on. He literally did nothing to size/fit me. Though they did not have the type of bag I wanted in stock, I asked him numerous questions that he could not answer, despite having Osprey retail training. He offered to order the bag I was interested in. I asked him what the benefit was ordering from Little Forks rather than getting it shipped to my door on Amazon. He said shipping costs and you give us the business.... I should have explained most people dont have shipping costs using Amazon but neither here nor there. Long story short I ended up buying a S/M based on his recommendation and it did NOT fit. Turns out my torso length is 22 inches and the M/L fits much better, and is the recommended size based on the Osprey website size chart. Now I have to return the bag and get the correct one. Guy is a 🤡!!EDIT: I know Little Forks has a great reputation and my girlfriend has been fitted for and bought Osprey products from here in the past with great results (hence why I came in). She wanted to support local business as opposed to Amazon, and I would have done the same if the employee was more helpful/knowledgeable. Maybe he was new and not trained in the bag section. I give another star for benefit of the doubt. Also, solid response from the owner. I will give them a try in the future, but for now I already have the correct bag ordered. Thanks anyway, and for the gracious response.

This is by far the best fly shop Ive ever stepped foot in. Although not very large, the store is packed with extremely high quality fly fishing and outdoor clothing products, all at an affordable price. The staff is exceptionally friendly and incredibly helpful, theyre always willing to answer any questions, and without any judgment. It is a great place for any hard core fly fisherman, or a beginner looking to get into the sport. Its a great place with an incredibly helpful staff.

Awsome store, big has everything plus some. Hard to find fly shops let alone great ones. Went in with a list of materials too tie they had everything. The 2 things they didnt have they told me exact when they would be in. The gentleman helped me pick out materials to tie the patterns I wanted. Great shop!

Great fly shop and exceptional service. Helped me find the right rod for my son. Will be creating memories for years to come thanks to Little Forks!

Very helpful. Great selection

Always get great service, and great advice from the guys at Little Forks. Its one of the things that keeps me coming back.

Great place and knowledgeable employees working there

This place is a hidden gem. Quality products, service and location. If youre a outdoor enthusiast or a fishing adventurist then this place will fulfill your wish list!

If you’re into the outdoors and/or fly fishing, do yourself a favor and stop here. Fantastic customer service, super friendly staff and lots of great stuff. Wish every fly shop I’ve been to was half this good.Great selection of outdoor wear as well as fly fishing gear and fly tying supplies.

Way better then anticipated!

I was in Midland today and stopped by about 10 minutes before they closed. They had everything I needed and friendly staff. Great fly fishing shop hope to get back soon.

What a great shop! They have great brands of clothing. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. I come here whenever I want a quality piece of clothing or am looking for an outdoorsy gift. Highly recommend.

I basically get all of my clothing from Little Forks now. The quality is the best and the service is absolutely fabulous right from the owner through each of the employees. I couldnt recommend this place any higher!

More than a fly-fishing shop, this is a great place to go for outdoor gear. There is a large selection of wool socks, and a nice variety of quality shoes/boots. They have a very friendly and helpful staff.

We use Little Forks for clothing, gifts, fly fishing products, advice, guide trips. They are always friendly and helpful. Their products last, and they stand behind their product quality. Bo Brines, the owner, is a huge supporter of Midland, and the downtown community! We would rate the shop and staff with an easy 5+. Kesler Family

Awesome shop! Everyone is extremely knowledgeable, east to talk with, and professional. Would go out of my way anytime to give this shop business.

Great selection of outdoor clothing, footwear, and accessories, lots of fly-fishing equipment and specialty apparel, and the most important: excellent service from friendly and knowledgeable staff.

For a month, I had been desperately searching for a specific Sorel boot, which was completely sold out both online as well as in every store in the Tri-City area. I needed them for a specific event and had given up all hope. The night before the event, a friend told me about this shop in Midland. I called inquiring about the boots I so desperately needed. To my delight, they had one pair left in my size! Not only did the owner Bo Brines stay open an hour and a half late for me to get there from West Branch (on a Friday night in the middle of a snowstorm) but he guided me there each time I called to tell him I was lost.Using the term customer service is hugely insufficient given all he did for me that night. His willingness to stay open late for me to ensure I obtained the boots I so desperately wanted, his kindness in guiding me there each time I called panicked and lost, his patience for me once I made it there and the genuine care he showed me, a complete stranger, (after having already worked a ten hour day) is light years ahead of any service I have ever experienced.I highly recommend this shop and guarantee I will return many times in the future!Thank you Bo, for everything you did for me. You were my hero that night!I challenge anyone to try to beat customer service at THAT level! I dont think its possible!

Where I get all my fly tying materials. I love it.

Best place to shop for jackets in the trip cities

Plenty of unique things! Unrivaled assortment of gifts.

Great place to shop even if not a fisherman
