What visitors say
Pacific Rivers Outfitting Company is a fishing store in Chilliwack, close to the Vedder River, and reviewers describe it as modern, clean and very well stocked. Several visitors say locals pointed them here as the best tackle shop in town, and one found prices lower than back home.
Staff get the most praise. Visiting salmon anglers describe staff spending real time setting up their rods and explaining how to fish the river. Fly anglers new to the sport say they never felt out of place, and one had a broken rod section replaced within the hour so they could get back on the water.
The shop also teaches and guides. A certified casting instructor runs one-on-one fly and Spey casting lessons, which reviewers call well worth the price. Guided walk-and-wade trips on the Vedder cover rigging, reading water and casting, and suit beginners or anyone preparing for a bigger trip.
Complaints are few. One reviewer pointed out that the front door isn't accessible for wheelchairs, strollers or walking aids, despite the newer building. If that matters to you, call ahead and ask about assistance.
