Default Shout out to the Fishin' Hole

I would just like to give out a public thanks to Kelly at the Fishin' Hole in Calgary. He helped me out tremendously on getting set up on my first set of fly fishing gear. Now all I have to do is take all of his advice and try to catch my first fish on this fly gear!

Best all around service for any of the larger shops in the Calgary area. I've dealt with both Kelly and Bill numerous times and are always helpful..

Good luck with the new gear..

I will gladly pay a little more to shop here, then hiteither of the two big box stores. Just wish we had a small gun store like the fishing hole so we had an alternative....... Always excellent service....

The best fishing store in Calgary bar none and Kelly, Bill and the rest of the staff are the main reason. If you think Kelly got you set up for fly fishing, get him going on walleye fishing some day!

Just want to update that I have caught my first fish on the fly today! It was a 10" brookie on the Jumping Pound creek. Man, is that ever awesome, I am completely addicted.
