The Lake&Lure Country Store

When we launched Lake&Lure clothing in 2023, we had this crazy dream brewing in the back of our minds. What if we could create a place where lake lovers like us could find everything they need for the perfect day on Deep Creek Lake? Not just our Lake&Lure apparel (which we're pretty proud of), but all those daily essentials that make or break a lake day – cold beer and wine for sunset watching, fishing gear and tackle for early morning adventures, firewood for those perfect lakeside evenings, and all the little things you forgot to pack. We're also thrilled to carry SquatchDaddy clothing because, let's be honest, everyone loves Bigfoot. 

After countless early mornings casting lines across Deep Creek Lake, we realized something was missing in our local community. Finding quality live bait near Oakland, McHenry, and Swanton meant driving too far or settling for subpar options. As anglers ourselves, we knew our fellow fishermen deserved better.

Deep Creek Lake isn't just a beautiful destination—it's a world-class fishery. Whether you're targeting largemouth bass in the shallows near McHenry, trolling for trout off Pumpkin Point, or fishing for walleye around the Oakland bridges, success starts with the right bait and tackle. That's why we opened our doors: to provide the Garrett County fishing community with premium live bait and fishing supplies right when and where they need them.

Whether you're a longtime lake resident, a weekend warrior, or visiting Deep Creek Lake for the first time, we want our country store to feel like that friend's house where you're always welcome. Need daily essentials for your lake house? We've got you covered. Forgot your fishing tackle? No problem. Want to grab some locally-inspired clothing that actually represents this incredible area? You're in the right place. Running low on beer and wine? We can handle that too. Stop by and see us, we can't wait to say hello.
