Fish Tales Tackle Shop
A well-stocked tackle and fly shop inside a Husky gas station in Terrace, BC, praised for friendly, local advice on Skeena salmon and steelhead fishing.
What visitors say
Fish Tales Tackle Shop is easy to miss: it's attached to a Husky gas station in Terrace. Several visitors said the outside undersells it. Inside is a deep selection of gear for local rivers and the ocean, with a strong fly-fishing section, fly-tying materials, lines and clothing.
Staff are the main draw. Reviewers describe them as friendly and honest, keen to sell you only what you need, and happy to explain knots and point you to good water. Visitors from Australia and Germany, and people in town for work, said the shop got them fishing on their first trip. Recent reviews mention staff restringing a child's reel, fixing a frozen reel and building a sink tip.
It suits beginners as much as fly anglers working on two-handed casting. People come in for salmon, including pinks, and for steelhead and trout on the Skeena and nearby rivers. Fishing licences are sold here too. One visitor suggests sorting yours the day before if you want an early start.
Complaints are few. One reviewer found some staff less sure of the products than others, and another wanted more rods. A couple of people found the shop closed before its posted closing time, so call if you're cutting it close at the end of the day.
