A well-stocked Cariboo fishing and hunting store in Lone Butte, BC, known for a huge selection of flies and lures, local lake knowledge, archery and firearms, and guided fly fishing trips.
Lone Butte Sporting Goods is a small, packed outdoor shop in the Cariboo's Interlakes area. Many reviewers call it the best-stocked fishing store in the region, with a big range of flies, lures, fly reels, rods and trolling gear, plus rifles, shotguns and archery equipment. It's tight inside because there's so much stock.
Staff know the local lakes well and happily share what's working, and several anglers credit a quick visit with turning a slow weekend around. Hunters and archers praise the owner's bow knowledge and help setting up rifles. Prices are described as fair, often close to the big chains, and online orders ship promptly.
The shop also offers guided fly fishing trips. Recent clients describe a day on a special lake with many rainbow trout over 20 inches and patient coaching on chironomid techniques. Another couple were picked up at their resort and towed to the lake with a boat. It suits cabin owners, campers and visiting anglers heading to the Interlakes lakes.
A handful of reviewers had poor experiences, including rude or condescending service and one who says they were refused an ammunition sale despite being licensed. Those are few among nearly 200 reviews, most of them very positive.
