From a guy in a city with the first Muslim mayor in Canada.
Where's the guitar playing smiley. Talk about generalizing people.

Should have made this poll where you can choose more than one.
Actually the best service, knowledge and selection is in Chubbdarter's garage & attic.

The world needs to have some A**holes, so you know who the nice people are.... 
In response to the poll, I'll shop anywhere.

I have to mention tacklewharehouse . Though it's online , the shipping will blow you away . They have almost anything you can imagine !
When I ordered on a Tuesday at 2 pm I had my package Wednesday at 1:30 !
I recommend anyone looking for a top notch online experience to check it out!!

I usually go to Wholesale Sports north
They have a lot more selection and I find the prices a bit lower on fishing gear and tackle
And I happen to find the the staff friendly and always have the time to answer questions and give good advice
Never been that fond of the Fishin Hole overrated in my opinion at least the one on the northside

I'm working in Grande Prairie these days and Wholesale has the best selection for fly tying here. Actually, it has a good selection of everything. Bartons lures me in from time to time, what it lacks in selection it makes up for in qualified staff.

But, he'll hit F9 then he'll hit ctrlQ then ctrlB then ctrl@,, and voila, he will be in the Pentagon Mainframe by morning.

I cannot, for the life of me, drive past a tackle shop and not stop in. Here's why.
I was searching all the stores for a particular plastic Gulp but could not find it anywhere.
Last month I found a little giftware store in a small town where I was for a derby that also sold tackle that had three packages of the salted minnows, on sale to boot. Bought a bunch of stuff actually. At half off, I'm buying.
Gas stations and hardware stores in any rural community or crossroads sell tackle and bait and like I said, at half off...
Free (or cheap)

If your ever on the Sunshine Coast (Gibsons/Roberts Creek/Sechelt) go look for Bobs fishing in Roberts Creek. Just a guy with tons of stuff that you can trade with or buy from. I got sick of using Buzz Bombs and wanted some Blue Fox spinners, and we did a trade off. Great guy, runs the hatchery at Davis Bay pretty much out of his own pocket.

Fishin' Hole first because I'm pretty conscious about where my money is going - I try to keep it in Canada as much as possible. The way this winter went though Walmart is definitely a close second. Stocked up on all sorts of goodies for under $40! Tent, auger, tip-up, tip-up line, scale, scoop. I **** you not, $40 for all of that. Yeah that tent's not great but it works and so does everything else.
I love the staff at TFH though and it's always my first stop.

You forgot the fourth demographic. I'm 2/3 and it's still hostile because I don't vote Conservative.

I shop everywhere now. when I used to fly fish allot . i would go to the little fly shops all over, they all gave me good advice. my last big purchase was my sonar and I bought it from the fishing hole, because they seamed to know what they where talking about. I might have to go there more
