Welcome to Thunder Bay Commemoratives - Purveyors of Outdoor Tradition!
The concept for our company was created in Northern Michigan where outdoor recreation and family tradition are still important parts of everyday life. Fly fishing for trout, upland bird hunting, and bow hunting for deer are some of the outdoor sports that have been rites of passage for many generations of family. The memories of these special times outdoors are cherished and should be relived many times throughout the rest of the year.

Our products help you rekindle and preserve these memories with your family and friends. They are special mementos that provide a way to display and re-ignite your passion for the outdoor life. Each product can help provide that "special gift" that will be perfect for your cabin by the lake, river, or in the middle of the woods.

Many of our products will help allow you to tell a story to your friends and family "...do you remember that time when Grandpa was fly fishing for trout on the Au Sable River and caught that brown trout by the bridge?" Ultimately, it's the memories of our friends and families that define us and create traditions that will be carried forward. Please let us assist you commemorate that special outdoor memory with our current products (see Products page) or by commissioning a custom design (contactus@thunderbaycomm.com). Currently, Thunder Bay Commemoratives operates as a wholesaler to selected retailers/conservation groups due to minimum order sizes; however, based on the type and complexity of work (we specialize in complex designs) - please contact us for inquiries. We appreciate and value your business!

Some of Our Customer Testimonials
"Thunder Bay Commemoratives produced an order of engraved fly boxes for the Headwaters Chapter of Trout Unlimited on very short notice. We ordered our Logo on the front and our Mission Statement on the back. Our logo is quite detailed and challenging to engrave. When we received our order, we were very impressed with the work. Thunder Bay Commemoratives has priced their merchandise at a level where we will be selling them at our Annual Banquet and making a profit. Thank you Scott and Thunder Bay Commemoratives for a quality product, professional service, and reasonable prices."

Headwaters Chapter - TU



"This guy is creative! He'll take your logo and make you look like a million dollars. These are very nice quality products, with personalized logo's which customers want ... they want something that not every shop is selling. Thunder Bay Commemoratives took the Anglers of the Au Sable show products to another level. We look forward to working seriously with this company in the future. We're all about TROUT, and this company has put its best foot forward to help us maintain this wonderful resource we call the Au Sable river. We had a 4 inch Anglers of the Au Sable logo laser engraved on a flexible magnet (both silver and gold colors). It will be a permanent fixture on the back of my new fishcar, if Jeep ever delivers."
