A large hunting, fishing and outdoor store in Chicoutimi, Saguenay, Quebec, known for a deep lure selection, FXR clothing and knowledgeable hunting and archery staff, though online orders draw complaints.
Chasse et Pêche Chicoutimi, part of the Écotone banner and a stockist of FXR clothing, is a spacious sporting-goods store in Saguenay selling hunting, fishing and outdoor gear. Reviewers describe a big store with a wide choice, and one called it the shop with the largest lure inventory around.
Most shoppers are happy with the service. Staff in the hunting and fishing sections are repeatedly described as knowledgeable about the brands they carry, and specific staff get praise for fly rod setup, fly-casting lessons, archery and compound bow advice, and firearm purchases. Several tourists said staff helped them pick lures and suggested places to fish in the region, and one English-speaking visitor appreciated the help in English.
It suits hunters, anglers and snowmobilers looking for one place to shop, from rifles and crossbows to rods, boots and FXR suits. Prices are generally described as in line with other specialized stores.
The store has a vocal minority of critics. A few shoppers describe condescending or dismissive staff, and a couple mention sexist comments. The online side draws the most frustration: several people report cancelled or undelivered orders, items listed online that weren't in stock, and slow refunds. Older reviews also mention long repair delays. If you're shopping online for something time-sensitive, confirm stock by phone first.
