Excellent place to buy quality fly fishing gear. The owner is a guide and the wife runs the store.

THE place for fly fishers to visit when in the region.

Wonderful business and guide service. We came up from the States and had a spectacular 5-day fishing trip. Guides have excellent knowledge of the local rivers and creeks. They are so helpful in educating on casting, flies, hatches and locations of fish. This trip exceeded all of my expectations. “Epic” is the only way to describe it. Not the least of which the stream side lunches are unmatched by any other guide service. And they dialed-in nearly perfect weather ???? Thank you Karen and Kelly.

We had a day's guided fishing with Kelly. We had never fly fished before. It was an awesome day with expert tuition and guiding. We even got lunch. This was the best introduction I think you could have to such a wonderful sport. Thanks Kelly and Karen.

If you're going to fish the E. Kootenai area or the Columbia River, you will not find a better guide than Kelly Laatsch.

This business is just beyond fantastic! We came out from Cochrane Alberta and my son was going on his first fly fishing trip in B.C. The staff was just beyond helpful when my son called in prior to us leaving, then again when he came in to purchase a new rod and get an old one fixed. Kelly was such a big part of making this trip so memorable for him. Thank-you!

Richard Shatzko

Great guy, I highly recommend shopping here.

Kelly the owner knows his stuff and will be the first to demonstrate his arrogance. Spent close to a grand in his shop over the last year or so. Went in to ask him about my equipment and got totally talked down to and left feeling like I had insulted him. Will be going to the Fernie fly shop from here on out...very helpful they are.

Adam Constantineau

Great people. They live to fish. They know what they're talking about. And they want to help everyone catch more fish. Top notch service makes me a loyal customer.

Marty Smith

The guys at the shop are always helpful and have a wealth of knowledge of the local aria and hatches.. Great selection of flys and all the essential gear you could ever need. Would definitely recommend and I nearly always stop in when I'm in town!!

Fished the St Mary River yesterday with Brennan from St Mary Angler Fly Shop in Cranbrook. Great day on the river. Brennan is a great guide. Got us into lots of fish. Very knowledgeable of the river and where the fish are. If you are looking for a first rate day of fly fishing in the Cranbrook area give the folks at St Mary Angler Fly Shop a call to set up your trip.

Have floated the St Mary's River with St Mary's Angler three trips now. Quality experience from dealing with Kelly + Karen at the shop, to the guides, our great lunch, and an awesome day on the river.
