EnglishWhat Is Eagle Sports Center?
Updated
Eagle Sports Center is a family-owned outdoor sports store in Eagle River, Wisconsin, operating since 1980. It runs a 3,300-square-foot showroom focused mainly on fishing, with additional departments for hunting, clothing, footwear, water sports, and snow sports. Some items can be purchased online, and the store will ship anywhere in the United States by phone if an item isn't listed on the website.
What the store carries
Fishing is the primary category, covering every species and season, according to the store. Beyond that, the showroom stocks:
- Hunting supplies
- Winter boots, pants, and bibs
- Raingear
- Water sports supplies
- Cross country skis and snowshoes — available both for sale and for rent
The store describes itself as serving both casual and serious outdoor lovers in Northern Wisconsin.
Buying and shipping options
Not everything in the showroom is listed for online purchase. The store's stated approach:
| Situation | What the store says happens |
|---|---|
| Item is listed online | Available for online purchase |
| Item is not listed online | Call the store; if they have it, they'll ship it anywhere in the United States |
That means the website is not a complete inventory list — a phone call is the fallback for anything you can't find online.
What customers say
Two reviews on the site highlight the staff and selection:
- Kevin Gable (2 months ago, 5 stars): staff is pleasant, takes time to give advice on what to use for what you're trying to catch, and offers a good selection of lures at reasonable prices.
- Steve Kusters (3 months ago, 5 stars): opens early on Sundays, which he notes is a plus for fishermen, and describes a great assortment of reasonably priced products across sporting activities.
Fishing conditions and reports
The site publishes a weekly fishing report, "Fishing with the Guides with George Langley." The posted week of 9/27 to 10/4 covers early-season frost, falling water temperatures (most lakes in the upper 50s to around 60), fish moving to set up for fall, and signs of the season turning — maples changing, tamaracks going gold, geese moving, and docks coming out.
Who it's for
If you're in or visiting the Eagle River area and need fishing tackle, hunting gear, cold- and wet-weather clothing, or snow sports equipment (including rentals), this is a general outdoor sports store rather than a single-sport shop. If you need something specific that isn't on the website, call before assuming it's unavailable — the store states it will ship stocked items nationwide.
