Steveton Marine and A&N Ray is a good help

I've worked at two Lower Mainland tackle stores. I know that each store has to cater to its own demographic. The suburbs are much different then the city. A thousand square feet costs a hell of a lot more in the city than in one of the Tri-Cities so obviously the prices will reflect that.

I shop at Pacific Angler, Riverside, Sea-Run, Reaction, Freds, and Nikka. I'd heard lots of great things about Micheal and Young, Highwater, Hatch Match'r, and Berry's but I just haven't been in the area to stop by and spend some time and money to really get a feel of their stores.

 I support my local tackle shop, which is Berry's, but my all time favorite is Bucky's in Duncan. Growing up on the island, I remember all through the late 60's and 70's going there as a little kid with my dad. The awesome amounts of fishing and hunting gear was so cool. Listening to the men in their Cowichan Sweaters talk about the big one that got away and where they were going deer hunting, the smell of the place is still fresh in my mind. The ambiance and aura of the place was the best. The shops that have been around for decades are still the ones i like the best, by far.

A&N Ray is a good help

[aquaholic]

If you're talking about Ray from A&N Langley, he's good peoples!! Went to highschool with him in North Van and back then he was a pretty diehard fisherman.

Ahhh so you must be Rohn then?

[Fish Slayer]

And who is Ron to you?

Someone I've heard about... But enough side tracking of the thread.

My favorite shop would probably be Searun as they have a huge selection of gear, although Fred's is far too close to the vedder to not be over looked.

For salmon gear and dino gear.... only use Active Bait and Tackle in Vancouver..... can't come close to their prices and product quality!

Highwater tackle north van

Go see Dave the man is wealth of knowledge.  Ask him how to tie a rig he'll spend 20 minutes going into detail about he little things that ultimately will turn you into a better angler.
