I love the service that we get here. It’s out of the way (we live in Burlington, ON) but it’s worth the drive in. If you are looking for knowledgeable, caring support, while working within your budget to get you set up, visit HLS/TFC. I can promise you, you will not be disappointed.

Thank you for making the drive to support the shop!
Enjoy your days on the water with Hayden as they grow up too fast!
He is a keen young angler and clearly has the “fishing bug” … and the skills to back it up!

Ray was great in his choices of fly making materials, and my husband left a very happy fly maker. (Thank you, from his wife for making this Covid shutdown a little better), highly recommend going there, I’m sure we will be back!

So happy to hear that Aldo will be out of your “hair” now Chris! It is obvious that he has a real passion for our sport, and this will only help to fill these next few winter months with satisfaction with his creations … Please stay safe and I look forward to your next visit … hopefully next time in-store ;-)

Thank you Ray, 

I really appreciate your help, advice and attention to detail. Last evening might be one of the best tackle-shopping experience’s I’ve had. I’m looking forward to getting out on the river this weekend and give it a ’swing’. No doubt I have much to learn about spey fishing.

Hi Ray, thanks for the information. Arron was a great guide and instructor. We had fun learning and then practicing what we learned. Jan and I told Aaron we’d like to sign up for some fishing and another lesson with him in May or June next year. 
I’ll be by sometime to pick up a few things so we can practice casting either later this year or next spring. 
Again, thank you. 
Best regards,

Hello Ray, 
Big thank you for making my boys’ day today!

Have a great fall and see you soon.

Hi Ray – I just wanted to thank you for going through the process of taking the time out for me to build my float rod. it’s a really special rod and something I am always going to enjoy. It is not only a spectacular rod and reel but it also is something you helped me put the components together making it a one off that was built by yourself. That to me is something I will always think of when fishing with it.

… Thanks again for all of your help and encouragement …

Ray – A great fishing season and did catch a few with the Ned rigging. Was at the Massassauga Provincial park this past week and hooked this largemouth in the weeds with my Senko. 21 inches long and over 5 pounds – my largest to date. Feel free to put up. Thanks again for all of your help and encouragement …

That is a phenomenal largemouth Nancy!

That fish is old and wise … Took some great skill to catch it!
Your smile says it all!!
 

… The experience that I had at your store was fabulous … You were fantastic and I will highly recommend your store to family and friends ….

I would like to say thank you for you help today. I was in with my two small kids to purchase waders for my 9 year old son and myself. I thought I knew what I was looking for. I was wrong. The last set I bought at a different store were over sized and wrong for my body type. You took time out of your day to educate me on what would be best for me. The experience that I had at your store was fabulous. I will for now on always make the trip from Burlington to go to your store for help. It’s been 6 years since I’ve River/Creek fished due to children. You educated me on the new laws in different districts and the new go too for fishing. My son can’t wait to fish Bronte creek with his new waders. You were fantastic and I will highly recommend your store to family and friends ….

Thank for a great experience

… Thank you for being such a great initial touch point to this beautiful sport … I really appreciate your guidance, knowledge and most importantly your friendliness and ease of communication …

Hey Ray,

Thank you for being such a great initial touch point to this beautiful sport. Angelique and I had a great time coming in to chat with you on Saturday, we appreciate your words of wisdom, honesty and candour both with fishing and life.

Ethan and I had a great time with Arron, we didn’t catch much (my own fault on the one hit – still haunting me a bit haha) but we had an amazing Sunday out on the water and enjoying nature while learning more from Arron.

Thank Arron for the great pointers for both Ethan and I, we will look forward to bringing them into the next season of trout and some bass fishing for the rest of this year. Hopefully, we’ll be even better next year when we try to book again with Arron for some dry fly action (he mentioned end of June/May as ideal).
 
Thank you again for everything, I really appreciate your guidance, knowledge and most importantly your friendliness and ease of communication.
 
Have a great day!
