Stream Weaver Flies is an independent fly fishing shop in Red Deer, and almost every review centres on the owner, Bob. Visitors describe walking in and not knowing where to start, with shelves full of fly-tying materials and a TV playing fly fishing shows.
The tying selection is the standout. One visitor who had just toured shops in Calgary, Edmonton and smaller towns rated this one among the most complete in the province. Customers also praise the quality of the dry flies and say prices compare well with other fly shops.
It's a particularly good stop for newcomers. Several people who had just bought their first fly rod left with a handful of flies to try and printed lists of instructional videos to watch. More experienced anglers value the owner's knowledge of Alberta rivers, including the Red Deer River watershed, and some credit most of their best fish to flies bought here.
Reviews are close to unanimously positive, with no recurring complaints. Expect to spend a while talking fishing if you have time; it's a chatty shop.
