Casting lessonsI had the great pleasure of having William teach me fly casting lessons. It was such a pleasure to be taught by a person who not only knows what he is doing inside and out, but has a passion to teach.Very impressed with the way he could use everyday things that I could relate to and explain the proper way to do it.If you're looking for lessons in learning to cast, I would highly recommend taking a couple hrs from him.I cannot wait until my next 2 hr session so I can learn more.Thanks again

These guys are absolute legends. Everyone in the shop is knowledgeable, friendly and will go out of their way to ensure you have exactly what you need. Despite being two and a half hours from me I plan on going here for all my major fly fishing purchases.

I recently bought a reel from pacific river outfitting and absolutely love it.. they have a fantastic selection of stunning fly and float fishing gear. Willie Holmes hooked me up and was super awesome to deal with, even with my pickey taste and a million questions. Definitely my new favourite tackle shop to go to. Also buddy who rang me in “Luke” has unbelievable knowledge of bears and great stories of some encounters in the back country.. two thumbs up for these boys!!

Hands down the best customer service for any fishing shop I've visited in the lower mainland. They sell high end gear but it doesn't feel like they just want my money. Also sell Hanwag hunting boots which was a nice surprise as not many shops around here sell proper high end mountain boots.

The instructor Willy was an absolutely wonderful teacher at showing me the ropes for how flyfishing worked!He was brutually honest when I made a mistake but he was also extremely encouraging when I got it right and was patient with me which was wonderful, as I can be a bit on the slow side of taking instructions.I felt comfortable and enjoyed every second of learning how to flyfish with my Grandfather, even if it was for an hour and in the rain!Probably one of the best spots to learn flyfishing, though I can't speak much about spaycasting as that was something I didn't sign up for, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was also great.5/5 Stars! - Ethan

This was the best experience I have had in any fishing store. My son has taken up fishing. The store staff (WIllie and all the staff) were helpful and knowledgeable. It was very obvious they have a passion for the sport and supporting the community! Thanks guys!

My father and I have been sitting on some fly fishing gear for a couple years saying that we will get out there and learn how to make use of it. We went out and took part in a group lesson today offered by the team at Pacific Rivers Outfitting and had a great time. Knowledgeable, fun and patient team. It's likely that we will come back again for a few one on one sessions.

Simply the best fishing store experience anywhere. These folks make you feel like you're one of the family. Super knowledgeable and friendly service from every staff member. Huge selection of fly fishing equipment and fly tying materials. Lots of gear specifically for fishing the local rivers. Top of the line outdoor clothing. Living room atmosphere with sofa, fly tying station, and library of fishing books to browse. Free fly tying instruction evenings. Highly recommended.

Super friendly atmosphere walking into the store. Being new in the fly fishing world any questions I had the staff was eager, and willing to answer any of my questions.After learning to Spey cast else where I was able to bring my Rod and Reel to Pacific Rivers and have a one on one lesson with Willie Holmes who is a certified, casting instructor at the shop. Will easily picked out the strengths and weaknesses and was able to fix what was needed to make make casting a little bit better.Thank you to the crew at Pacific Rivers Outfitting Company for always making new anglers feel welcome!
