Our Story

Born on the Water.
Built for Anglers.

Tri City Tackle isn't a big-box store with aisles of guesswork. We're a dedicated fishing shop in the heart of Watervliet, staffed by people who actually cast lines — on the Hudson, the Mohawk, and everywhere in between.

Whether you're targeting smallmouth bass along the river rocks, casting for pike in the marshes, or preparing for your first trout season, we've got the gear and the knowledge to get you ready. No fluff. Just honest tackle from the brands that earn their place on your boat or in your pack.
