… We would definitely recommend you and the Hook, Line and Sinker Shop and guiding service! …

Good Morning Ray (and Arron):

Thank you very much for the great fishing experience that you afforded Julie and I on Saturday! We had a great time! The pictures that you shared with us were great (including my bad form…haha)!

Arron…you are a great teacher…and we both enjoyed learning about your extensive knowledge and storytelling about fly fishing!

We would definitely recommend you and the Hook, Line and Sinker shop and guiding service!

As a gesture of our appreciation…I would like to invite you or your staff to join us for a ½ day tour, sometime this year, of Algonquin Provincial Park. You could meet me in Huntsville (where I live) and I could take you to our Harkness Fisheries Lab on Lake Opeongo and learn about some of the lake and brook trout research that has taken place there since 1936.

Thanks again and take care…

… I will refer your shop to friends and colleagues for hard-to-find, and critical fishing gear!

Hi Ray,

I received my package today, and the item exceeded my expectations. I know it will work well for the type of fishing I do.

I know that I was not the easiest first-time customer, but I will certainly be a returning one.

And I will refer your shop to friends and colleagues for hard-to-find, and critical fishing gear.

I knew it would Kenny!
No worries at all – when spending any $$ its always best to ask any and all questions.
On-line sales represent a small portion of my business and during the day I find it hard to leave the in-store customers for the phone – finding that “balance” is always difficult but certainly manageable with your continued help.
Have a great summer fishing and thank you for the support!

… I’ll definitely be shopping at The First Cast Fly Shop again!

Hey Ray, this is Jason from earlier today. I’d like to be added to your e mail list and would also like to thank you for your help. I’ll definitely be shopping at The First Cast Fly Shop again!

Thanks for the extremely comprehensive email. It’ll really help me hone my casting techniques and practice the different types of presentations.

Also thanks again to Aaron and Peter. Their instruction was very clear, helpful and fun and I left with a lot to keep in mind when I get back out on the river this weekend.

Hope to stop by again soon.

Love your site and all the products and services you offer. . I live in a small town in Nova Scotia. We had a great little fly shop here up until a couple of years ago. Unfortunately they are gone now. Thanks for your time.
