Schultz Outfitters: what do users think?
Sophia Brueckner: I came here on the suggestion of a fly fishing friend, but I accidentally came on a day where they were very busy. I'm just getting started but am serious, hired a fly fishing guide already, and was ready to spend quite a bit on good quality gear. I was walking in loops around the store trying to catch any attention of the staff while they enthusiastically greeted men and boys who came in after me giving them long descriptions of what they should check out. I couldn't even catch anyone's eye until I interrupted one of these interactions with people who came in after me. I felt invisible and pretty terrible, and I can't help but feel like if I were a bearded guy I would have had a completely different experience.
Mark Gabbard: Great shop with full shelves. Super staff
Trevor McIlwaine: This place is the best! They always get me set up with the right gear, lines, flies before a trip. I also love the lessons they teach and their guides are fantastic. If you're looking for anything to do with fishing Shultz is your spot.
Chris Baker: Came here a few days ago to establish a relationship with these guys. Think it's pretty cool that a specialized fly shop is in our backyard, outside of Cabela's, or Bass Pro Shops. I have been fly fishing for about 16 years with mainly dry flies. I've recently decided to pull the trigger on a two-handed switch setup, and with all of the online instructions, and different lines running in a Skagit setup, I decided to speak with someone at Schultz. That someone was Nick, and he explained some things, answered a bunch of questions I had. I asked him to pull me a Skagit setup, and he took note of my rod & reel setup, and got me what I needed. He told me that when I get my rod & reel in, bring it in, and he'll spool & tie everything up for me. I did that today, and he had me ready to rock in 10 minutes, no charge. Thanks, Nick! These guys have a great fly & streamer selection, high-end rods & reels along with mid-ranged ones. They also have backing, float lines, Skagit spey heads, sinking lines, leader line, tippets, fly tools & accessories, polarized sunglasses, waders & rain gear, nets. They'll have what you need.
Chris Pollack: Being from the West side of Michigan, I called Schultz for some questions on tying a specific fly type and Corey, who answered the phone, was knowledgeable, patient and unpretentious. He selected some items for me and happily shipped them to me, receiving them the very next day. Great customer service, I will be shopping with them again (probably more than I should).
Megan East: They always are a great help and knowledgeable. I came in with a list of supplies to purchase and they took the time to help me find each item. I’ve been here several times over the last decade and each time they provide excellent service.
Todd Mundorf: I can't say enough great things about the team at Schultz Outfitters. A couple of years ago I was new to fly fishing, having come from years of 'gear' fishing for bass. Every single person in the shop has been phenomenal, from helping me with rods, reels and lines, to getting me set up to tie flies. All super low pressure, but high intensity in terms of their willingness to help! Thanks Corey for your patient help today (and so many other days) getting me set up to try a switch/skagit set up! Huge thanks to Mike for building such a great team that helps newbies like me figure out their way through the fly fishing world. Shout out to Jesse who was the first person I came into contact when I walked in back then, who spent hours helping me get started. If there were a way to give 6 stars to the whole crew, no BS, I would.
Corey Dean: Schultz Outfitters is not only a great fishing shop with an amazing selection of fishing gear, it’s a community of people that really love what they do. Their customer service and passion for fishing is genuinely palpable. SO is a classy outfit.
k Lid: solid inventory. bought a few flies and asked for some intel on the local river. employees were extremely helpful;
Shari Fox: First time here. Everyone was friendly and more importantly, knowledgeable. Had everything we needed today.
Peter William Katke: Awesome guys, always crazy friendly and helpful. Inventory is amazing, they have most everything in stock.
Tim Williams: These guys are top notch. I stopped in to have them swap some fly line for me and not only were they friendly and helpful, but this place outdoes any fly shop in the area. I will definitely make sure to do more business here.
Jim Manning: Had a nice experience fishing with Colton on the Huron river and lake St Claire for smallies. Enjoyed his personality and passion for putting clients on fish . Can’t wait to fish Musky with him this fall. Jim
Presley Goodemoot: The best fishing selection for any angler. Love Schultz!
Jake P: Great shop. Jesse is always super helpful and willing to answer questions. They won’t try to sell you anything you don’t need. The whole staff is great and will go out of their way to make things happen.
Steve L: Wow, great place! I went in there thinking they probably wouldn’t have much bass fishing equipment. I was wrong, they have a whole room full of bass fishing equipment. Lure selection was the best in the area other than Cabelas. Very cool shop, nice employees also.
Adam Ackerman: Awesome shop and guide work. A must go to for any fisherman.
Rachel Gunnett: Nick was super helpful getting me all geared up to hook into some Huron smallies!
John Howell: Wow. More items than you can imagine. Prices are in line with other stores and the staff was great! I will be back!Highly recommend
Tracy Stump: These guys are great helped me w all my purchases. Everything for our fishing necessity's. Thanks guys
Nathan Lewis: Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Cory was great and got me all set up without trying to oversell me on anything not necessary/wanted. Will definitely be back.

Rick's Bait Shack: what do users think?
MsNessbit: NEEDS TO UPDATE HOURS. Not open both times I tried.
Beau: Very helpful staff
Troy Campbell: Always a good time at ricks great atmosphere and always great deals and wonderful help
Ben Hoffman: I’d really like to try this place out but they need to be open first. I’ve been over here three times during hours they are supposed to be open and it’s always closed. Looks like there is inventory here but the phone number is also a dead end.
Jennifer Goldschneider: Believe the reviews that say this shop is not open during the business hours posted online. The place was not open on 7/31 at 2:00 in the afternoon. If I had read the reviews earlier, I could have saved my family the 38-minute drive to the shop. Lesson learned. Will not go back.
Jacob Smith: Like everyone else I called and got no answer, can't drive over there without confirmation, I could work in the shop if you need someone to.
Raymond Browning: Great Bait shop friendly people
Luc Tassin: I've been here multiple time while ice fishing and he's a great guy who is very knowledgeable and helpful. The one thing you need to know is that this seems to be more of a hobby store for him. Now this isn't a bad thing but this means he does it for fun and he runs it however he's feeling thay day. This means that he may be closed when you expect it to be open, but as long as you realize how he runs this then you'll have a great experience and will definitely come back again!
Chriss Vowles: Cool bait shop. Rick casually runs the shop, sometimes you have to knock really loud so he can hear you to open the place up.
Carlton Collins: Closed on Friday
Brian in Taylor: After calling and reading the posts I'd say the guy definitely isn't a reliable business owner and obviously isn't too concerned about his customers needs. Perhaps he cares and it's just that everything else comes first. Been calling and calling trying to get some info but no answer during peak season and during business hours. If you don't want to work, hire a kid to run the show like the rest of them do.
Sea Stacker: Great small town bait shop!
Kurt Figel: Post poor
Brett Hagen: Best spot for live bait around. Crawlers, wax worms, and different kinds of minnow's
Nick Sacco: Best bait best prices great advice and gear if you need it
Amanda S: After to going to other bait shops...Ricks is the best. Super nice guy and always great for conversation. Huge chubbs and great price! Always supporting fishing with the young kids and adults. Stand up guy and shop.
Rhonda Kasperek: Hosted an event there , they were so generous and helpful !! Which helped make our event successful!!
Gene Longworth: Cool place friendly staff.
John M.: Update your hours. Drove all the way here and your closed at 11am on a friday?! Terrible.I guess I'll go to the gas station next door and give them my money.
Michael Schuchaskie: Decent bait shop they sell minnows by the scoop rather than dozen
Bart Baeckelandt: Small shop that has just what your looking for in live bait and essentials. Fair prices to boot

DICK'S Sporting Goods: what do users think?
Eddie Smith: Nice retail facility with a great selection of sports merchandise... regretfully though, the prices are set at a staggering premium and the quality of the products and service simply do not offer enough value to justify the high premium.
Steve Adams: I’m not sure what’s going on with this location but it’s almost like they’re getting rid of their fishing/camping gear all together.We’re well into spring and the fishing/camping season has started. I went to pick up some things a few weeks ago and the shelves were disheveled with every limited stock. Thinking I was just too early I came back again today and it’s even worse. The camping section is now like two half isles, the fishing section is down to just 4 isles with 1 pack/product on every peg to make it look fuller than it is. Most items are lacking any and all variety. Good luck finding something in a length/color that you want.I’d say your local grocery/super center has more stock and variety than this “sporting goods” store, which seems to only sell clothes at this point. There’s no way you could use this store as your primary source of hard baits.
Mike Stuff: Chris was very helpful during my store experience
Evan DeLosh: They never fail to live up to the name service-wise no matter which location I've been to, the website says they offer services like filling up CO2 tanks but if you make the drive over it's a whole different story.
Nicholas Colucci: Super friendly staff - Ryan was amazing & really helpful showing me the new system for trying on shoes. Jalen was also super helpful fetching all the shoes I wanted to try from the back!
Greg Garcia: This particular store was so friendly, helpful, and professional.
Karol Knapp: Found some great deals today on golf stuff.
Bruce Popejoy: Went in with my nieces as they were looking for sporting items...new cleats for soccer, sports clothing and items for the upcoming track season. The selection seemed pretty good, some prices were good and other items seemed more than other stores. We were helped in the show department, the young man was running between customers and was very helpful and efficient...only think others not working as hard could have stepped up and helped. Lots of clearance in the main aisles. We found most items quickly and were on our way to the next store in a timely manner.
Alexis Reyes: Great service
Parker Thomas: Good clean store with good service. Not the cheapest but the value you would expect.
Maxine Mercier: Friendly staff. Store very clean No clutter everywhere.
Ted Anderson: No adult sized World Cup gear. Dick’s “Sporting Goods” has no “Sporting Gear” for the biggest Sporting Event on earth.
simmo156: The lines are always so long with one person at a register and 9 other employees just walking around the store. Can’t stand going in here and don’t even bother anymore. Not sure if the employees are flat out lazy or they are not trained on the register.
Caleigh Dawson: Candace helped me out and she was great!! Super personable and easy to talk to and helped me find a great new pair of tennis shoes :)
Becky Geer: Found exactly what I was looking for.
Brainy Blonde: Amazing service from the store staff :) Jalen was so helpful finding the right size and the right shoes I'm so thankful!!!! You all are awesome!!!
Adam Drake: Always find what I need there for a fair price.
The Rachel Madcow Show: Sat ray Below is wrong, the manager was right that law was taken off the books and the decade ago. It used to be if they marked it they had to sell it to you for that. Wrong again Harpo
Jonathan Li: Called in ahead of time to see if the bike repair service was available, and was told yes. After arriving there with my bike about 1 hour later, I was told by the bike mechanic that he didn't feel like repairing bikes that day. Unbelievable.
Natalie Davidson: Salesperson answered my question about an ebike by looking it up on the internet. I could have done that myself.
Ann Guess: Found my niece shoes sizes with a discount "Let's Go"

The Painted Trout: what do users think?
Nick A: Can’t say enough about the excellent service from the crew at The Painted Trout. They received our order over the weekend, processed it and shipped it out and it arrived promptly and even included a handwritten thank you note with some candy (I love starburst!). That’s something you don’t see very often these days and made the quick service all that much better. You guys are awesome! Keep up the great work! I’ll be shopping with y’all again for sure! Much love and many blessings in your future endeavors!!

Awesome. I’ll definitely order from Painted Trout again!
Alixandra Swett: First experience with the Painted Trout! Had been wanting a specific patagonia synchilla for a couple of weeks and it was sold out everywhere but they had it and it was on sale! Ordered right away! Was shipped the same day and arrived the next morning! Collin even wrote a personal thank you note in the package and a little treat! Will definitely be ordering again!
Mike Scott: Outstanding service! First they had the products I was looking for, second the products were offered a competitive and reasonable price. Third my order was delivered in a timely manner. If you tie flies, check them out.Kudos to The Painted Trout!

Fantastic Customer Service, Pricing, and Marvelous Shipping and Inventory! I am Happy to display Their included Decals, and the Sweet Treats are Appreciated at the vise and on the River !Thank YOU Faith, Neall, and Collin
Jody Newsome: Great store!! Husband and wife duo that are such a great pleasure to talk with, both very knowledgeable on everything they have and offer, super personable with everyone! Awesome fly fishing store and the clothing they offer are top notch and reasonable prices! Oh and if their mascot is there you’ll love him as well!!
John Barkhimer: While my review may seem like a copy and paste from all the other amazing reviews of The Painted Trout, I would be remised if I didn't share the joys this shop has to offer. The owners and staff are some of the nicest, humbled, helpful humans I have ever met. They are always open to sharing their stories, fly tips and tricks, and making you feel welcomed. They have a beautiful selection of clothing, gear, and accessories and are very knowledgable of all the above. Their prices are reasonable and they provide fun sales throughout the year. I highly recommend joining their mailing list so you don't miss out. This is a shop my family and I never skip the chance to walk through when enjoying a "Dexter Day". One last notable - we absolutely love Ralphie!
Cindy Bolton: Received my package and it was nicely packed with a thank you note and a small bag of candy. It's crazy how something so small can make your day. 😊 I would definitely shop here again and recommend them to everyone.
Melissa Genthner: Fast shipping and reasonable pricing. Easy peasy. Thanks!
Seth S: Ordered from the online shop and my order was shipped much quicker than I anticipated.
Peter Sheridan: Great pricing & fast shipping - will definitely buy from these guys again!
Travis Luther: Haven’t visited the shop in person but shopped online. My order shipped same day and arrived quickly. Found a handwritten note and some treats in my package. This shop has some great customer service. Thank you Neall and the painted trout shop. 🤙🏼🎨🎣
Lisa Slater: Great little store! Super customer service and great selection.
Jim Gavin: Just received my new apron, it’s my 3rd one. They are the best. They wear like iron and wash up perfectly.Thank you!Pat G
Xavier Resendez: Great shop and easy to order! Ordered a Patagonia retro x jacket. Great packaging and will be ordering again from y'all in the future! Thank you!
John Shoe: Love this place! Learned how to make fly fishing lures. They everything you need and more for a great fishing experience and outfitting yourself.

Dunham's Sports: what do users think?
Jeff Shepherd: Got to get the golf gear!
Marsha Cole: Very disappointing. Store is messy, floor littered, and unclean. Staff do not know their merchandise and did not assist me in finding anything. Never again
Troy Meawasige: Great prices for range ammo
Garrett Dunn: Had an hour to kill while in Ann arbor so I figured I'd go look at some guns in the back of Dunhams. Will was most definitely one of the more knowledgeable gun salesman I've met. He knew info on every gun in the back of that store. From the garbage HiPoints to the quality of a Taurus or a S&W. If you want to purchase a gun go see Will at Dunhams in Ann arbor you couldn't ask for a better experience....p.s Didn't purchase a gun yet he had no issue showing me several guns and talking through their features and pros and cons. Go See Will!
Timothy Domeier: One of the last two good sporting goods stores.
Tab B: I was in the store shopping and had a physical emergency, I could not find anyone in the back of the store. I stuck my head through the "employee only" doors, knocked on the break room where the manager appeared to be. I was promptly yelled at by the manager even when I tried to explain my situation. I have in the past spent much at this store. I will never return. Thank goodness I wasn't having a heart attack.
Maxine Mercier: Very little help when you are trying to find something. Then when you're being checked out and the cashier just slides the money in a rude way instead of handing it to you. I just took it wrong, maybe. However even if you don't want to be at work try to be more polite and wear a smile. Otherwise call off cause your having a bad day.
Tommy Darrow: Love Dunham's got to get stuff on sale though the retail is kind of high if it's not in the ad or coupons but they do a good job of keeping it stocked got a sweet deal on a 23 gauge I love it
Eric: Love this place
Sherman Maggard: Came in to buy shoes and waited 30 minutes with no one showing up or asking if I needed help. Sad.
Rob: Great selections
Aaron Marcelo: The. Lady in the cashier is not good she always is talking whit other persons or in cell calls and not pay atention to the costumer
E Lopez: Quick and easy visits. Very knowledgeable gentleman at the gun counter.
Jeffrey Smith: I don't like the fact that the two stores near me have closed, but when I do visit the Ann Arbor store I seem to find what I am looking for. The staff have always been friendly and helpful at that store.
Avram Liebowitz: Nice, middle of the road selections, nothing too high end or too cheap.
Joseph Nazareth: Ammo is cheap and very human 😀
diesel james: Cool place I got just what I needed.
Lewis Donofrio: Exactly what I needed and at a good price.
Luc Tassin: They have a great hunting and shooting section. The man in the tan vest at the gun counter is very knowledgeable, and polite. The fishing section is a little small but the large variety in the hunting section makes up for it.
Grace Su Ming: Great place to shop. Awesome deals, always giving out coupons. Nice staff. Wide variety of stuff and prices.
Milton Stephens: Very clean and organized

Moosejaw: what do users think?
Laís Petri: I had all the help I need to buy a binoculars for research! Thank you!!
Adriana Ochoa: Loved it! Nice variety of products. We even found a toy for our dog! And the staff were amazingly friendly!
Dung Le: Knowledgeable staff. You can order anything to the location online and try in store!
Joseph Riera: slow, unaccomodating, unknowledgable
Karen Godwin: I usually love shopping here, but just now was surprised at the lack of support I received even though there were four employees at the front just hanging out. They all said hello to me. They all said goodbye to me. The one in the swing said she liked my glasses. But never did anyone come and help me as I tried to figure out how to choose a ski jacket at the back of the store. I love their inventory and I'm usually a pretty self-service kind of person. But with technical gear, it would have been nice to have proactive support. Especially during the holidays when the stores are packed tight with so many options. I left.
Judith Wismont: Mad midnight activity was fun. :)
Zachary Scherfner: Pretty cool place. Especially having Fjallraven gear. It’s hard to find a place that has a decent selection. I give 4 stars due to it may be a hiking score, but not in one that you would plan to actually be “camping”. They don’t have the supplies one would call the minimalist. It was actually pretty depressing with the brand that they have. If your out looking to get that “photo” that you camp, this is the store for it. If they were to add the gear one needs for a week long or extended hike, it would defiantly be 5 stars.
Silvana Graf: Very nice quality outdoor gear. A bit pricey but has an anniversary sale going on now.
Jack Dettman: Cool store and great customer service
Todd Shroats: They had a good selection.
Maria Pilar Rodriguez Formoso: THE WORST COMPANY OF ALL, DONT BUY HERE,they sold me a product and a service that they did not provide, a real scamterrible and the attention even worst,i would never buy again
Ben Cahoon: Great selection and a friendly staff
Elizabeth Ann: Really unique store with high quality outdoor gear and a cool fish named Ian. They don't have a huge selection in the store but there website does and they will have items shipped to the store for you. I do think their sticker would be much more hysterical if it said canoodling instead of French kissing though. Just sayin.
paul rhoades: Great place for outdoor gear!!
Ping Zhou: A weird, quirky store with a lot of character. A named pet fish, an indoor swing set, tons of pictures of dogs, an upside down mannequin, etc. Great of variety of outdoor products from Fjallraven to North Face. Although Moosejaw is no longer independent and is owned by Walmart (not sure about this specific store, though), it's still nice to have a homegrown (Michigan) brand.
Jim Lee: I’ve been extremely pleased with Moosejaw customer service as I’ve helped a friend get outfitted for MI winters. I fit “off the rack” but my friend struggles with women size small to large being appropriate depending on brand and style. MJ folks have been very helpful and patient with exchanges and returns.
Luis Orellana: Since moving from SoCal to Ann Arbor 5 years ago this location has always had what I needed, whether it is a rain jacket, hiking boots, climbing rope or even a new travel backpack on the fly. This location has always had it and the customer service is too notch. Happy Customer of 5 years now.
Janine Scott: I always make trip into Moosejaw when in the area. A favorite. Staff always friendly.
Danielle Fodor: Cool place great staff!
Mark Hanss: Staff are knowledgeable and helpful local outdoorspeople. Dog friendly, keep an eye out for special events and sales.
xavi fonoll: Excellent service for climbing
