The Fishin' Hole's Saskatoon, SK, store, a well-stocked local tackle shop with bait, fly tying supplies and hard-to-find parts. Mostly praised, though one recent review says it has closed; call first.
The Saskatoon branch of The Fishin' Hole is a dedicated fishing store that many local anglers call their first stop. Reviewers describe a well-organized shop where rods are easy to find by length, power and action, with a mounted record rainbow trout on display.
Many shoppers praise knowledgeable, no-pressure staff who spool reels, help novices build a full setup and share first-hand tips. Regulars say prices often beat the big-box stores down the road, sales are good, and the shop carries fishfinder parts and gear Cabela's doesn't. Fresh and frozen bait, ice augers, lures for gear rods and some fly tying materials are all mentioned, and one angler's daughter landed a big sturgeon on bait from here.
Service isn't consistent, though. A number of reviewers, including some recent ones, describe staff chatting or on their phones instead of helping, a rod lined backwards, pricing errors at a single open till, and unhelpful answers on reel questions. Exchanges on augers have also been refused in the past.
Importantly, one review from about a month ago simply states the business is closed. Confirm by phone that this location is open before making the trip.
