A well-liked hunting and fishing store in Longueuil (St-Hubert), QC, known for friendly bilingual staff, firearms help, ammunition and a good range of tackle. No-refund policy is the main caveat.
The Longueuil branch of Techniques Chasse & Pêche, in St-Hubert on the South Shore, is a traditional hunting and fishing shop that most reviewers rate highly. It isn't the biggest store around, but several customers say it carries brands and products they couldn't find at the large chains.
Staff are the main draw. Reviewers repeatedly describe employees who are knowledgeable, patient and not pushy, and a few first-time rifle buyers say they were walked through their choices and had the rifle assembled with accessories the same day. One visitor watched a staff member redo a scope mount until it was centred properly. English speakers note that the store is genuinely bilingual.
Anglers like the tackle too, including bass gear, spin and fly fishing equipment, trout lures and worms for a day on the water. Some hand-made lures and a bit of second-hand gear turn up, and a loyalty program is available for members. Prices range from very good deals to a little above average depending on the item.
The main caution is the no-refund policy, which a couple of recent customers only noticed from a small sign at the till, and one was told to take a faulty item up with the supplier. A few people also found the store closed before its posted Sunday hours, and occasional visitors waited while staff chatted. Ask about returns before buying and call ahead on Sundays.
