One more vote for Searun as that was the only tackle shop i found my tiny spin-n-glos! probably size 10 or 12 last year around this time of the year  :o

Berry's is great and all, but I find it hard to "walk around" and I don't have a beer belly.

Stillwater in Ladner is worth a visit. Great little local tackle shop.  They helped me set up my fly gear a few years ago.  Lots of hunting stuff too if you are into that.

--troutwaters fly&tackle kelowna, great selection of fly gear decent selection of river gear.
--several guides work at the shop and are willing to give up a few secrets.

--kenkraft near lumby.. lots of river and large lake gear and decent selection of fly plus you can get your RV serviced there as well.

--both shops donate staff time to local fishing clubs and help with work on fishing related projects.

Berrys is my favorite: convenient location, great selection and friendly staff.

Dave at Highwater is a top notch guy but his shop is not very convenient for me.

Berrys just cause it was the first tackle shop I ever stepped into as a kid.
However it's way far out of my way so I only go there maybe once a year when the sale is on.

Army and Navy for me usually, however Ebay works well too if you know exactly what you want

Any port in a storm though...

Ain't that the truth.

I'm partial to the guys at Michael & Young, they've treated me very well.  Really good selection of Simms stuff, etc.  And fly chucking rigs.
  
Pacific Angler is closest to where I work and gets a fair bit of my play money.

Correction, I would shop at any tackle store that has the cheapest clear drift floats and terminal tackle. I imagine that I would keep losing them  ???
A&N definitely off the list...$7.50ish Drennan I already lost one.

For me, for reasons of location, selection, and helpful people, Pacific Angler is tops.
