I'm not sure if it was the owner, but the man working was very rude, impatient and not helpful at all unfortunately, we will not be shopping here again. That's too bad! read more

Mac's Sporting Goods - Sporting Goods Near Me - Bishop, California

I would recommend, give me help for flies for upper Owens streamer fishing. I found very helpful would go back.

Very knowledgeable staff. The store is stocked with plenty of gear! If they don't have it, you probably don't need it!

Got my fishing license was in and out in 2 minutes. 5 stars for that and the picture. Even though the employee was wearing an eagles hatgo Halos Go Chargers! read more

Very disappointed with the customer service. Went in for my wife's fishing license, while waiting tried asking the employee about the local bite-he had his back turned and didn't even acknowledge my question nor had any interest helping me with information. Poor service- don't waste your time or money here, head down the road about 2-3 miles to find a better "Sporting Goods" store. read more

Every place seems to be out of crickets! We got worms instead. Friendly staff, nice store. We may return. read more

Been coming here since the 80s and it the best place in town to hear up before a great day of fishing.

this place is the real deal !!! if you're looking for information on fishing in the Sierras I've been to all the different bait shops around and this one is far above the rest their customer service is awesome the prices are reasonable and I highly recommend it to anyone that's going to fish the Sierras !!! mark my words read more

Stopped by Mac's Sporting Goods on Sunday, May 22, 2022 during a recent fishing trip in Bishop. Unfortunately tackle shops are not well known for having the friendliest customer service at least not from my experience. The gentlemen working took the time to answer my questions and even took the time to come out from behind the counter to assist me in selecting the best flies for where I was fishing. He was very kind and even wished me good luck as I was leaving. I left feeling confident rather than dumb for asking newbie questions. I hope all of their employees are as helpful as this gentlemen. Thanks Mac's. read more

Really good selection of tackle especially for the area and really knowledgeable staff. Was able to get all the basic hooks and weights and plastics I needed. The low rating however deals with their flies for fly fishing. They were a bit pricey but that was not the largest issue. Out of the six flies purchased, 5 of them fell apart after only a few casts in open water. One of them after only one cast. Decent place if you need gear but stay away from the flies. read more

I understand it Sucks to get a bad review on yelp but today I just cannot help myself after work and employee from Mac's did to me. I am from out of town and was looking to buy ammo so we could go shooting most of the stores especially Reagan's the one I usually would go to was closed m, Max's google said they were open until 6 PM (another hour) so I called just to confirm and not waste my time or fuel considering I was at an RV. The employee said "yep open until 6, and yes we have .556 ammo" I said thank you and told him I was on the way and would arrive at 530. I did exactly that only to find the store closed a half hour early...... nice! I'll never be going there again , Reagan's will get my business from now on considering they have common decency. read more

Been shopping at this Tackle Shop religiously since 1987. By far my favorite shop in Bishop. The owner (Dale) and his employees have always been extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I highly recommend this as your go to tackle shop when hitting the Sierra's. read more

Mac's Sporting Goods is my hands down favorite tackle shop - anywhere. My friends and I love stopping in on our way to and from Mammoth. The staff is friendly and always willing to offer tips. They'll tell you where to fish, what to use, and how to do it. We were having trouble remembering our knots, and one of the guys took the time to show us the knots and let us practice on their line until we got it down. The prices are reasonable and sometimes even better than KMart down the street. They also sell their own hooks and pre-made leader line. Oh, and they will also offer your dog a biscuit! Free parking in the lot next door. Love this place! read more

Working with Nick was great. Second year as a sponsor of the Bishop Trout Rodeo and we certainly appreciate the shop!

Awesome place to stop on your way up to fish the loop or anywhere north of Bishop! They have it all, good prices great service and a awesome shop! Fish on! read more

Our usual stop for bait and tackle. Always friendly. Maybe a little pricey, but they have everything you need or forgot. Nice diner located next door. read more

The gentleman I assumed was the owner was friendly, helpful and offered me free fishing advice when I asked. The place is well stocked with more stuff than you might need on your next trip. I highly recommend this place. I will be back on another visit. read more

This is the second place to get your fishing supplies! The staff is friendly, but what separates them from others is that they also have an excellent assortment of flies (for fly fishing.) Yes, the guns and ammo are readily available, too, but for a small store, the fishing supplies are organized and fairly well priced. Mac's is located in the middle of town, next to my favorite breakfast place, off the 395 near Line Street. A great place to stop by when heading to Lake Sabrina, South Lake, or my favorite, Intake 2! Support the local business that provide year round trout fishing via the chamber of commerce. Get your supplies here rather than your family store killers i.e. Wallmart, please. Most of all, enjoy the stores in town and the excellent fishing (nothing better than a nice sized brownie!) read more

Have stopped here every time we pass through Bishop due to their Good Selection , the employees are always friendly, happy to share their knowledge of the current bite. Highly recommend this shop! read more

This is how to run a small town business. I was looking to buy a rifle in Bishop. I tried another popular store in town, but being a female with very little knowledge about firearms (other than an M16A2) was blown off by the owner. Irritated, I marched over to Mac's. The two gentlemen working there were friendly, extremely patient and helpful. They took the time to discuss my preferences and options. The prices are reasonable and competative. The merchandice is well-organized. After the sale, Dale (I think was his name) offered me some of his homemade deer jerky, which was fantastic, btw. Superb customer service. Mac's just gained another lifelong customer. read more

Been coming to bishop since I was 5 years old and we would always go to Culver's sporting goods, this trip we went to Mac's and we loved it. The man working was friendly and even let us in on some good tips. The store had a wide variety of camping and fishing gear, I had to leave before I spent all my money read more

Dale Miller at Mac's has always been helpful and informative. I don't come to Bishop fishing unless I stop in to get the local fishing reports and where the fish are biting. read more

The staff are super friendly and helpful. Great selection of fishing supplies and tackle. Will definitely be the place I stop for fishing gear before I head into the mountains again. Thanks guys! read more

Love this place and the man who helped me was super helpful! I would defiantly go back and buy more fishing gear.

The guys / staff in here offer some of the best service a sports store can offer. Its not a huge store, but they are packed with gear. They even carry cast iron dutch ovens. I didn't have a budget for that, but I did buy fish bait & a pocket knife from them just cause I figured its good kharma. Plus, one of the guys mentioned the particular brand I bought has a life-time guarantee -- something I didn't have to pay for (are you reading this, Circuit City?) I'm not sure what it is about the huntsman "personality" -- but I sure wish there were more salespeople in OC & LA like the staff at Mac's . read more

We hit up this place for some fishing gear and bait on the way to Lake Sabrina. I have to say it's THE best place I've been to for fishing supplies. They also have quite an arsenal of hunting gear as well, decked out with different animal heads on their walls. What stood out the most is that the shop is clean, sharp and well-organized, both in product and service. Plenty of great expert advice, plump crickets, juicy worms, all led to some excellent fishing. read more

I was in the middle of an elk hunt in Nevada when my rifle scope malfunctioned. Called Macs who said bring it in right away. I did and Dale serviced it in less than an hour and didn't tease me too much about my scope mounting skills. Really nice people and I'd go back in an instant. Highest recommendations from me. Thanks Dale for the emergency fix and fast and friendly service. read more

This place is awesome and the employees are great. They are beyond helpful.i was from out of the area looking to meet up with friends who were on a off road trip. These guys were very helpful. Great place to stock up on supplies. read more

I should have wrote this long ago...nicest place in town for hunting n fishing gear and advice, as well as a competent gunsmith. While living in Mammoth for 9-years, the word up there was "Go to Macs" if you needed anything firearms related. There are good fishing outlets up in Mammoth Lakes, with Macs having a better handle on the Owens Valley south of Rock Creek, and more down-south pricing than resort pricing. Stay honest and customer-oriented Macs, as you earned your five-stars from me with that attitude and service! read more

Friendliest fishing supply store in town! Even our dog gives them a paw up! They are very helpful and just make it a great start to a day of fishing. read more

Good store with a good variety of fishing, camping and hunting stuff. I've found some unique items here. They sell Shimano spinning reels (good ones) here. They have their own parking lot. The guys that work here are friendly. The only thing they don't sell anymore is a fishing license. I always like to stop here and spend a few dollars, browse and look for unusual fishing stuff before heading up to the lakes. They also have some unique stuff hanging on the walls for display only, some of it I wish was for sale. Giving out some freebies to customer's wouldn't hurt either. read more

Recently I bought a shotgun. Mac's was unable to get the model I wanted in my required time frame. They agreed to handle the FFL transfer if I found one. I did, but timing was still critical. The UPS air shipment was due to be delivered on a Wed. afternoon. I needed to do the transfer paperwork that AM to get home before an early snowstorm hit. Dale Miller, the FFL holder offered to drive to UPS to pick it up. When he found the driver had already left, he chased him down on his route. That's service! They have my loyalty and future business. read more

My brother, cousin and I have been shopping here for years. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Tip: If you are in the eastern sierra for the opening of fishing season, the store is open all night so you can pick up any items you may have forgotten (gloves, hats, fishing license, etc.) and fresh live bait. read more

Stopped by to get a few flies and fresh leaders for a trip into the high country. Also picked up a packable fly rod, which happened to break on its second use. Stopped in again upon our return and Dale was happy to send the rod back for me, receive the replacement, and promptly ship it to my home address in Arizona. This is the sort of customer service that not only engenders repeat patronage, but priceless word of mouth advertising. Keep it up boys! Thanks Dale! read more

Nice helpful folks. A well run small town shop. excellent customer service
