What visitors say
Reid's Fly Shop is a locally owned fly fishing store in Edmonton, and 96 of its 100 reviews are five stars. Many reviewers call it the best fly shop in the city.
The owner is the main draw. Beginners say they never felt talked down to, and several bought their first fly rod here with patient help on setup, plus a quick casting demo. Experienced anglers like the no-pressure approach and the advice on Alberta waters. One angler was outfitted for a Spey trip to the Columbia.
The shop is best known for fly tying, with quality hooks and materials that reviewers say the big-box stores don't carry. There's a good range of rods and reels from budget to high-end, prices are described as fair, and they'll order in what isn't on the shelf. Online orders ship quickly, one arriving the next day, and the coffee beans for sale get a few mentions too.
Complaints are rare. One older review noted you can't buy a fishing licence here and found the fly selection average. It's a small shop, so call ahead if you need something specific.
