The Avalon Hodge Podge has been family owned and operated since 1962! We are a bait and tackle shop that offers repairs to rods & reels. Information on fishing charters and tours are posted in the store.

Everything you need to catch fish except the gas!

Our staff is friendly, knowledgable, and up to date with the latest fishing products. We are here to help you with any questions you may have.

It's time to dust off those fly rods and get out there! Stop in for your saltwater flies.
