Smitty Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Update: I hope this isn't breaking the rules, or offending sponsors - I assume this forum / website has nothing from Edmonton anyways, so this really wouldn't be a conflict, from a competition point of view... ...but Edmonton finally has a fly shop! https://www.facebook.com/ReidsFlyShop.YEG/ Not since Reg Denny's have we had a singularly focused shop for flyfishing. As I have said on many forums, I never thought Edmonton would support one. But really, with WSS gone, and Cabelas really not filling the void, it was time for some new blood (though I like the FIshin Hole). I'll cross my fingers in the hopes it will survive. The local fly-fishing community here I think is finally strong and big enough to support one shop. Hopefully Reid's will get a new website soon: http://reids-fly-shop-fishing-store.business.site/ Went a few weeks ago for their soft opening. Looks good! Staff is friendly and experienced (Clay is from WSS, not sure where Reid is from, if anyplace). Clearly, like many a fly shop, the business model is the same; justify your slightly higher prices with outstanding customer service. Hope this shop makes it! Anyways, so glad I could eat crow on a prediction like the one I made. So, if any of you southerners are in Edmonchuk, there is a new place to go. The primitive website does have directions. It's in the west end. Smitty 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailhead Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Glad to see a shop in the chuk again. It was where Russ Thornberry started the Fishin Hole. Best thing about a independent shop is; the informed personnel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
