Thank you Ray and Peter for such a great experience in fly fishing!
Ray, you better not tell that underwear story too much. Lol!
We got the pictures and they were great.
The sisters will recommend you and Peter to anyone!
Have a wonderful day and maybe will be back your way someday.
Hello Ray,I did receive the rod alright today. Thanks for everything, it is always a pleasure to do business with you! Thank you.July 3rd, 2018.
Hey Ray…Hope you’re having a great weekend. I look forward to coming up and wasting your time again… You’ve been awesome to deal with and you’ve made my journey into fly fishing extremely worthwhile.Take care my friend!June 3rd, 2018.

Probably one of the best tackle shops I’ve been to. Wide variety of lures and soft plastics that frankly you cant find a lot of at any other store. Cant believe I never made it there sooner as it’s a must to go to place! I’ll be back soon.

This is the second beginner fly fishing course I have taken, the first 10+ years ago through a different store in the area. With Aaron the instructor I found this course much more informative. It is one thing to learn basic casting but just as important is to learn how to read the river to get an understanding of were the fish may be, how to check what the fish could be feeding on and river etiquette. I feel a lot more competent this time that I could get out on the water on my own. Aaron was more than helpful in discussing various pros and cons of what is needed to start fly fishing without breaking the bank. Ray was very helpful in the store concerning what he would recommend and helping with any purchases. The follow up “E” mail concerning your strong and weak points and hints to improve was a nice touch. I highly recommend First Cast, if you decide to take up fly fishing you just may start a long beneficial relationship with the staff at First Cast. Though I am one and half hours away, if I continue fly fishing this will be my “go to store”. Thanks Ray and Arron.
Hi Ray,
Good to meet you today. Please add me to the mailing list.
Couldn’t be happier with the new Echo 5wt. Two big rainbows on Whiteman’s creek this evening, 14-15 inches.
Great set up. Thanks for the advice!May 17th, 2018.

RE: Hardy Perfect Reel Foot Replacement & Clean Up – Wow….what a great job! Can’t wait to get it. Thanks!
A buddy and me took a shot at this place the other day, driving 45 min to go to the shop without any prior knowledge. I am fairly new to fly fishing and the level of direction I received was spectacular! Very helpful and apparent that he took interest in teaching to the “new guys”. I will definitely be returning whenever passing through the area! Highly recommend!

Hi Ray, the reel showed up on Friday. I put the fly line on yesterday. It looks gorgeous with the orange backing! The sun is finally out and the ice is melting on the lakes, just itching to get out and try this reel! I will definitely be back to get whatever new toys I would like in the future. Thanks for the great service and quick delivery!

Honestly the best place around for all your fishing needs! Ray is very helpful, especially if you’re looking to get fitted for some waders or boots.

I’ve been a regular customer of The First Cast fly fishing store for several years and my visits to the store have always been a pleasure. If you need anything that is not in stock then Ray is happy to order the item in for you, he goes out of his way to make visiting the store enjoyable, and his willingness to share his vast fishing knowledge helps you to make the correct choices easily. Definitely my favourite fishing store!

The trick you showed me has been the best thing for my wading boots. I’m on the river now and my feet have never been comfier (and warm) … Thanks for the great sizing and help with the waders for Hailey and I … with happy feet come great steelhead!April 9th, 2018.
Hi Ray,
Thank you for the help with the rod choice this morning and for generally sharing some of your knowledge, it all helps me significantly. I’m really happy with my choice, I wasn’t totally sure that the loomis Dredger was what I needed.
See you on Saturday.

I’ll be sure to send along some pictures and spread the word along the river of the great service I’ve received!

I’ll be sure to refer friends to your shop!Cheers!April 4th, 2018.
Hi Ray,
Thank you for your help and information to choose the right waders. This is exactly what I expected from a specialized store – Really appreciated and for sure you have a new customer! Please add my email to your list.Have a nice day,PS – I managed to dodge with my wife the question about the cost and didn’t have to sleep with the dog…March 30th, 2018.
