Who is Northeastern Fine Fishing Co.
Located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, we are determined to spread our passion for float fishing. We first encountered this form of fishing in Canada and are eager to watch this emerging sport spread in North America especially across the northeastern US where we work and play.
As one of the finest forms of river and stream fishing, we enjoy float fishing for bass and trout in our local Pennsylvania rivers, but our true love is fishing for salmon and steelhead in the Great Lakes tributaries. From September to May, we fish the tributaries of Lake Ontario and Lake Erie spanning from Southern Ontario to the northeastern US. If you see us on the river, come say hi!
We take pride in having a positive impact on keeping our waters and lands clean, and sharing our knowledge of this incredible sport with others.
We have a fantastic selection of centerpin reels and tackle, and we encourage all local customers to come by and support our small business. We are here to help all centerpin anglers of all skill levels.
When you purchase from us online, you will have a choice to pay with PayPal, Amazon Pay, or by credit card. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your purchase, please contact us! We love to hear from our customers, whether it is to discuss our products or just float fishing in general. If you are in need of expedited shipping, please be sure to call or email us before placing your order, to ensure we are not away fishing.

Michael Sola, owner and angling enthusiast, founded Northeastern Fine Fishing Co. with a passion for float fishing. Currently, Michael resides in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with his wife and children. Prior to living in the Keystone state, Michael and his family lived in Toronto, Ontario where he first experienced float fishing in the tributaries of Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. The Grand River in Southern Ontario, which is the first river he used a centerpin reel, is still one of his favorite fisheries. After experiencing so much success float fishing, he now uses a centerpin reel year-round as he makes regular trips to Lake Ontario and Lake Erie tributaries.
