Whitaker's Sports Shop & Motel

Always a great experience at Whitakers! From the lodging to the great staff to the top notch gear in the area! Rob and his staff are super knowledgeable and always willing to guide you in the right direction. 30 years of great times here!
Thank you guys, see ya soon!

I have been using Whitaker's since the late 70's when Jim Rusher was the proprietor...never once in 6 decades have they let me down...when you find a place that the help never leaves and the continuity of professionalism stays at the top you know you are dealing with good folks. The shop and lodge are great and they know the fishery as well as anyone.

Top notch fly shop. The gentleman who helped me with a new rod outfit and local fly patterns was an absolute pro and put up with all of my questions. Highly, highly recommended for friendly and knowledgeable staff and a great selection of fishing gear.

Best prices around, don't let the other stores fool you, rods are the best price here, and they actually carry real fly fishing supplies, Orvis fly line, and all nice Simms gear at real prices, not salmon season prices, I order all my Billy Pate reel from here, they are honest.

Great family owned, and run fishing gear and apparel shop. The Adamski family and staff are honest and helpful above all other shops in the area. They tell you and sell straight up. Great source for up to the minute fishing and water conditions. I have been a Whitaker's customer for over 30 years. I trust them to supply myself, my customers, and friends, as if they were taking care of their own family. If they don't have it, or can get it, you probably don't need it.

Very informative, very well made flies, customer service is excellent. Definitely a place I would take my friends to.

All I know about Whitaker's is the phenomenal customer service. Based on my experience I can highly recommend them. I recently was on the prowl for a discontinued fly material, Hareline Woolley Chenille. I found Whitaker's on a search and promptly ordered what I wanted. After a brief delay, I was contacted that the stock quantities I was asking for were not available and an update as to what was. I responded I would place a new order.
This was problematic because of my CC cutting off the purchase, complicated by placing two orders back to back and a delay due to the season of their location and business. This was not at all any fault of the shop. After some confusing back and forth contact attempts I finally was able to touch base with the shop owner on the phone and was so glad to get a chance to chat with him briefly. He was very helpful and completed my order over the phone with no issues, not to mention shipping my order and arriving in Idaho only two days later. We got time to chat briefly on tying and fishing and I only wish I had more time that day to chew the fat on flyfishing, as our interests and familiarity were very similar.
My experience with the shop was involved in direct contact with the company, whose customer service was perhaps second to none. I frequent a similar type of establishment here in Idaho and Whitaker's has proven that same type of quality of care. All I can say is that based on my experience, I can see why they have such a devoted following and if I was looking for the type of place and fishing experience they offer, I would not hesitate to book with them.
Customer service such as theirs is hard to find sometimes these days and if and ever I have the opportunity to do business with them again, I will not hesitate. I fully appreciate how they handled my business and for my part, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them!!!!

Wonderful experience at the Whitakers sport shop. They were welcoming and very friendly. After a horrible experience at Yankee fly & tackle, we headed here in an attempt to find a decent fly shop; they exceeded all of our expectations. If you want to know what you need (gear/flies/technique) to catch fish, and not just how to foul-hook fish, this is where you need to go. A++!

Absolutely my favorite place to stay when in the pulaski area! Motel is always clean and staff at the fly shop is on point. Whitaker's also has some of the nice gear when it comes to fishing especially for the salmon river.

Clean and Cozy Great place. Definitely will go back. Left my Small speaker in room got a call right away to let me know and offered to send it to me, Appreciate the honesty. Great place other then the Walls are very thin. Great place for guys to go on a fishing trip price for rooms are cheap especially for a bunch of buddies.

Great place to stop in if you need some outerwear, fly or centerpin gear. I have been happy with the assistance and selection of products available. A definite stop when I'm in town for salmon or steelhead fishing. A better stop than the larger stores pre-dawn when all you need are split shot, eggs or leaders as they are smaller and generally less crowded more relaxed environment.

Stayed the nite at the motel great little lodge to stay at if your hitting the salmon river also with a top of the line tackle shop and great staff. Will deff be returning also very reasonable prices 64 bucks for 2 dudes one nite worth every penny.

Great affordable place to Lodge. The Fly shop has everything you need to successfully fish for salmon and steelhead. I love the variety of tying materials Suited to tying steelhead flies.

I visit there every year for my annual steelhead and salmon trips. Could not be more pleased with their establishment. It has nice, comfortable rooms and it also is very convenient to be able to stock up on tackel in easy walking distance of the room. Can't wait to back next year!

I can't believe I forgot the guy's name already, but he was on duty Tuesday afternoon. I came in with a damaged line, with a split right below the loop in the end. He was able to repair it right away, and save me from having to buy a new line. Excellent customer service!

This is a great shop that is very well stocked with equipment a knowledgeable staff. They have always come through with great advice and the items I need to complete my trip.

Fabulous tackle shop. Amazing selection with very knowledgeable staff & access to great guides like Greg Liu. Very close to the DSR. Bring a treat for the ahop dog. If you break your Orvis rod, though, don't expect Whitakers to replace it for free. They will send it back to Orvis for warranty repair but you will have to pay $60 S&H.

Nice shop with a decent selection of fly tying materials. They're willing to give you the scoop on where, when and what to fish on any given day. And they have an awesome shop dog!

Very friendly and helpful staff. They'll also let you know where the fishing is best, and where you can find an item they don't have in stock.

Awesome top shelf true fly shop never had any issues that were not rectified that day or the next day. Has everything a fly flicker needs for any type of fishing.
