The Fishin' Hole Ltd
The Fishin' Hole's west-end Edmonton store, AB, a big, clean fishing shop with a strong fly fishing counter, ice fishing gear and friendly staff who set up beginners and match prices.
What visitors say
The Fishin' Hole's west-end Edmonton location is a large, clean and well-organized fishing store. One customer who used to shop at a smaller outlet in West Edmonton Mall said this store makes it look tiny, and several people prefer it to Cabela's or Bass Pro for fishing gear.
Staff get consistent praise. Reviewers describe employees who put complete setups together, rig slip bobbers, show newcomers how to use spinning reels and tie knots, and help gift buyers choose something suited to the angler rather than the most popular item. The fly fishing counter is singled out, with good advice on fly tying material and even tenkara. One team stayed open late so a customer could pick up fly line for an early start.
The selection covers rods and reels, lures and bait, flies, ice fishing shacks and augers. Prices are called fair, sales are good through the season, and one shopper got a local price match that beat a competitor. A few found it a little pricier than the big chains but worth it for the advice.
Negative reviews are a small minority. A couple of recent visitors weren't approached while browsing, and a few past customers had poor experiences with a manager, with warranty repairs being sent to the manufacturer, or with a price adjustment request. For price matches, the item needs to be in stock locally.
