Fishing · Hunting & Shooting · Quebec
An independent-style hunting and fishing shop in Gatineau, QC, with live bait, a broad lure selection and fishing licences. Many anglers like the prices, though service reviews are uneven.
This Gatineau branch of Techniques Chasse & Pêche is a dedicated hunting and fishing store, and a few reviewers also mention a golf practice area on site. Regular customers describe a well-stocked shop for both pursuits, with gear for getting started or tuning up.
Fishing is where it shines in the reviews. Anglers praise the lure selection, say leeches, worms and other live bait are usually in stock, and several found lure prices a little lower than the big chains. A new angler was steered to an inexpensive beginner rod and reel combo well under budget, and others say it's a handy place to pick up a Quebec fishing licence.
On the hunting side, opinions are more mixed. One customer liked the crossbow prices and that they come assembled, but several others describe staff with limited firearms knowledge, a poorly mounted scope, and a period when no one on shift could serve firearms buyers.
Service in general splits reviewers. Plenty report friendly, knowledgeable help, while a noticeable number recently felt ignored or unwelcome, and one woman reported being treated poorly. There are also complaints about a no-returns stance on defective items, a missing receipt record and posted hours not matching when the store actually closed. Keep your receipt, confirm warranty terms, and call before driving over near closing time.
