Good morning Ray,

The streamers were working like you said they would.

We each caught about eight 8inchers and the 13.5″.

Thank you for being so helpful!

We will be back!

Dear Ray,

I just wanted to send you a big thank you for going out of your way to get me that steering fluid for my vehicle this past weekend.

My car breaking down could have been enough to ruin my day but you didn’t miss a beat in volunteering to help out. I was grateful to be able to enjoy the lesson worry-free.

I also wanted to thank you for your extraordinary level of customer service and taking the time to impart your product knowledge specific to my needs.

You went above and beyond in so many ways and believe me, those things get noticed. I may live over an hour away but your level of service is enough to make me drive the distance!

A third thank you: Thank you for renewing my belief that customer service in Canada is not dead. :0)

Looking forward to seeing you again soon!

Hello Ray,

I would like to thank you for all your help and advice today (Monday) even though you were closed!

Now that I have the essentials, I am definitely looking forward to getting out there and trying out my luck with fly fishing.

I look forward to my future visits to your shop for chats and advice!

Please add me to your e-mail contact list.

Thank you and tight lines.

Ray,

Got the goods thanks a bunch it is all PERFECT!

Better then I expected as I had never seen the bag in person as a side note you can use for people I just realized that I am going to be able to wear this over my life vest when I go out in the Kayak where the fishing vest would never fit.

Very happy with it all.

Thanks again.

Hi Ray,

I stopped by the fly shop earlier today to pick up a pair of waders (G3s, LL12-13), along with a few other items.

Just wanted to say thanks for the help and the gift card and I look forward to more visits (including the off-season fly tying clinics). Please add me to your email list.

Thanks again and cheers,

Good afternoon Ray,

I just wanted to say thanks again for your time last evening. I am really looking forward to the fly fishing instruction course on the 25th :-)

I obtained my Ontario Fishing Outdoors Card and a Sport Fishing Licence (1 Year) from the Ministry of Natural Resources website, so I should be all set to go.

I’m so excited!!

Thanks Ray.

I absolutely love your store and I can’t wait to make my next trip there with my newly-discovered shopping list.

March 30th, 2015.

 

Ray,

Will definitely chat soon before trout opener, your store is the best!

Very few stores that have such a diverse selection on center pining for steel.

Most people have no clue what a float reel even is!!!  -They think I’m fly fishing every time I show them a picture of me and my islander!!! Lol

Well anyways it was more than a pleasure – Tight lines forever!!!!

March 20th, 2015.

Hello Ray.

I hope all is well with you. Jacob and I were in to purchase some tying material from the store today.

We really appreciate the help you gave Jake in selecting the correct material as he starts tying.

We would greatly appreciate any info on upcoming courses or tying sessions.

Thanks again, have a great day!

Hi Ray,

Thanks for spending some time with me last Tuesday Feb 24 when I visited your store in between meetings.

You really do have one of the best stocked fishing stores I’ve ever seen!

I’ll let you when I’m back in Guelph next and will bring my 4-weight rod in with me so we can match an appropriate reel.

I really want something in the $150-$160 area.

Talk to you again soon.

Best regards.

March 3rd, 2015.

My husband received the fly rod for his birthday and was so surprised and happy that I had his fathers fly rod repaired. He had no idea that I had sent it away.

Thank you so much for all your hard work!

Hey Ray,

I was in about a month ago, bought some Simms Freestone boots off ya.

Thanks for the help with fit and selection and also explaining how to get the best performance out of my boots.

I’ve been tying my laces with the “lower knot” and its been way more comfortable.

Thanks again, keep up the excellent service!
