The Fishin' Hole Ltd
The Fishin' Hole's Calgary, AB, store, a clean, spacious tackle shop with brands the big chains don't carry, a fly and line service counter, saltwater lures and helpful staff.
What visitors say
The Calgary branch of The Fishin' Hole is a clean, spacious fishing store that several anglers rate above Bass Pro and Cabela's for selection. Reviewers mention brands and specialty items they couldn't find at Canadian Tire or Bass Pro, and staff will order in what isn't on the shelf.
The staff get strong reviews. A beginner was fully set up with a first rod, line and lures at a good price, and a visitor who stopped at the fly and line service counter was shown how to fix what was wrong with their existing rod instead of being sold a new one. Others came away with fishing spot suggestions and new ideas for the tackle box.
Gear anglers like the bins of jigs and soft plastics, and anyone heading to the coast will find a good range of saltwater lures, hoochies and spoons. Pricing is described as competitive, and one shopper found sale prices beating the big chains. Late afternoon on a weekday was quiet for one visitor.
Low ratings are rare. One family described an upsetting incident with staff and has stopped shopping here, but the great majority of reviews are positive.
