Canada Day Hours

We'll be open from 8 AM until 4 PM on Wednesday for Canada Day.

All Hail the Monkey

Don't forget to get your new Howler hat for your summer fishing. We are the place to get 'em.

Fishin's Good

The fishing is good out there, but we're already seeing water temps on the Bow up around 68 Fahrenheit.

Please handle the fish quickly and carefully.

Field Review - FlyAgra

Have to admit, for the last year or so, my attitude when people raved about FlyAgra was kind of "oh good, another floatant product". Kind of thought we had things covered with the array of products already out there, mostly from Loon Outdoors. I finally broke down and tried it this past week and I must say, it's fabulous. It's first test was a completely fish chewed, ratty,waterlogged Chubby Chernobyl that sunk like a stone. Dropped the fly into the Fly Agra for a second and started fishing again. The fly was like new! Floated like a dream and stayed that way for a long time. This stuff is really good. Couple of things you should know when using it though, don't pre-treat your rubber legged flies with it. It will make the rubber legs very brittle. Just apply and fish immediately. The only other thing, don't spill it in your pack or vest, it's like rocket fuel. It does, however, evaporate in a short time. Try it, you'll like it.
