@vagabond - sounds about right. Lol

I'll definitely be asking for advice and suggestions here. Once we have some options for my buddy I'll probably fire off some questions. That said, he's more of a "who cares what it costs" guy and will likely just pull the trigger on whatever they recommend at the shop

Thanks again for all the recommendations. My buddy works downtown so we might just hit up Bow River Troutfitters down there. Cheers!

Awesome. Thanks for the info,everyone.

A buddy and I are looking to take up the sport. I've got most of my gear from years ago but he needs everything. Aside from gear it would be nice to get some advice - be it regarding local waters, patterns, or anything. I see there are a few shops off Macleod in the South end near Anderson. Any one or two that people recommend for a couple of newbies? Thanks!
