If we only have time for one, should we go to Concord Outfitters or Bear's Den?

Bears Den is great but if they are even half-interested in seeing anything other than the seedy underbelly of a washed-up mill town, you should take them to Concord Outfitters. At least there you will have the option to see some US history like the North Bridge or the Minuteman National Park. If they are at all into US revolutionary history or US literature, Concord has a lot of attractions. It's the home of Thoreau, Alcott, Emerson, Walden Pond, the American Revolution, and much more. Besides, it'll take you less than half the time to get there from Boston as it would to get to Taunton and the owner is more of freshwater guy than salt water, which your friends may find more interesting.

I think they are mainly concerned with the shop that has the most/best offering of products.
I appreciate everyone's help. I am totally clueless on the fly stuff, and anything outside of RI for that matter.

Well, it might not have the best selection of fly fishing gear, but if you're talking in town Stoddards is still a classic.

Stoddards closed about 3 or 4 years ago.
