I had a great experience shopping here. The staff (Eric?) was incredibly patient and took time to explain everything to me as Im just getting started.Ill definitely be back!

Knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions you may have in as much detail as you want.

Very positive experience! I am brand new to fly fishing and went in to buy waders. Jordan assisted me to find a pair and was very helpful and inviting. I took the waders home and did a second fitting with all my gear but they felt a bit too big. I called Jordan and we discussed options and said they didnt have the size I might need and passed on to check out another shop they have a good connection with and they might have the size I need and I am welcome to return the first pair. I found what i was looking for at the other shop, returned waders to Pacific Angler with no hassle. I will definatly be making the effort to stop in as I get more and more into this! Thanks for the assistance!

Great selection and very passionate staff.Alex was great as a guide for my sons birthday and has helped us with tackle selection and the best places to try our luck

Great staff. Very helpful. Good inventory

Incredible service, selection and knowledge. This should be everyones go to store for all things fishing. Its an enjoyable experience each time we go. Well done guys. My friends guided trips (2) were extremely successful and their boat seemed to catch more fish.

Not the place to go to get advice about buying freshwater tackle. The salesperson really didnt know what he was talking about - I fished when I was young and what he said made little sense. I would have been willing to pay a little extra than some bigger retailers charge if I was able to get some decent info. on returning home I did a bit of research and found that he was confusing a lot of saltwater tackle setups with freshwater.

Staff was helpful, bought 500yds of braided line and a couple lures.

I always appreciate the advice I get for each trip out. Really patient with my questions. Amazing Service!

Favourite local tackle shop. Staff are awesome, super helpful. Great selection, can get cleaned out a bit stockwise seasonally.

I got a job guiding in Haida Gwaii and only had a few days to get organized to go I needed specific rain gear that the shop didnt have in-stock with no time to order something in Jordan and the rest of the staff working that day went above and beyond to make sure I had the gear I needed outstanding customer service and a great group of guys!!! Keep it up!

An all around fantastic fishing store! This is a great place for one simple reason... the amazing team, who are all passionate and highly knowledgeable about fishing. I’ve been frequenting this store for what feels like 20 years and I can always count on them for advice and assistance. The team has expertise on every type of fishing from lake fishing to river fishing to ocean fishing (or even for destination fishing). You’ll be well taken care of at Pacific Angler!

Good selection if you do your own tying

Awesome place, chill vibes from the staff there. Jordan really took the time to explain everything to me as I’m new to fishing.

Ok there’s this guy work there his name is Jordan he is awesome he is great on helping me and other that I notice .

This is my new local tackle shop. Started fishing more seriously since Covid started and have been having a blast doing so. The staff here are passionate about everything fishing and seem more than happy to help with any questions I have had. I ask a lot of questions and have never felt I was being a bother to them. I had an issue with one of the rods I bought but brought it back and they helped me file a warranty directly with the company. I received a credit for my rod and was able to grab another. Ill be in soon for another set up! Support your local tackle shop!

One of the best fishing tackle in Vancouver. They love what they are doing and they are happy to help and they will answer in all your questions.

These guys are awesome. Jordan spent more than one hour with us (two clueless people) explaining all the necessary basics to go fishing. Amazing!

Wonderful experience 🎣! 4 of us joined Captain Eddie on an 8 hour trip. Time flew by & being a tourist in our own back yard was amazing. Captain Eddie was fantastic. He’s been with Pacific Anglers for 12 years and his genuine enthusiasm and love of fishing made our experience the best is could have been. Captain Eddie was knowledgeable, conscientious, patient & engaging. Captain Eddie cleaned our fish & then we took them to The Daily Catch on Commercial Drive to be filleted, deboned & vacuum packed. We are looking forward to our next trip already. THANK YOU Pacific Anglers & to our Captain Eddie!

Went to get warm salt water flies. Taylor was exceptionally helpful. Got the flies I wanted and excellent advice. A few team members around also added their enthusiasm.

Thanks again for the great service

Called from Ontario to purchase a Womens SImms Jacket that has been IMPOSSIBLE to find anywhere in Canada - Pacific Angler ordered it in for me and called me right when it was shipped and sent it to me in Ontario. It was followed with a very nice email and my tracking number. Amazing customer service! 10/10 recommend!

Ive been a regular customer for many years. Today I went in to have their team look at a Rapala center pin reel I purchased from them a few years back. Disassembled, replaced parts, cleaned, greased and had it back in tip top shape - all no charge. This shop is dedicated to customer service. If you want to best expertise, the finest gear, and of course the best service for salt or fresh water fishing, you really cant go wrong with Pacific Angler. Thanks, really appreciate having you in Vancouver.

First time at this store. Really good selection & friendly knowledge staff 👌

Matt did a great job

Great customer service and knowledgeable staff.

Had an issue with line getting spooled on backwards but the folks at pacific angler made it right.

Great place! Very socially distancing, but maintaining excellent customer care. Has everything I wanted. An oasis in the city.

Very friendly, helpful staff.Clean and practicing public health protocols.

These guys are the best. Consistently helpful and friendly staff that are genuine with their interactions. I buy all my gear here. I will be coming back for the years to come.

Great customer service, knowledgeable around fishing 🎣...

A big thanks to Haiden for organizing my order and Andre for tying the poppers for Coho salmon season. Great service guys! Wish you had a store here on the Island !

Knowledgeable staff and good selection. They also offer guided trips.

Really helpful and friendly staff.

Awesome staff. I had to replace my cleats on my Simms shoes and Taylor took care of it, which was definitly no easy task. Courteous and knowledgeable staff, will come back.

Ve green shopping for fear at pacific forx a wile and really liked them till today .The person I talked told me that pacific angler said that you can no longer buy fishing licences in any store you can only buy them on line, those are the new regulations due to covid but I called 3 other shops and 2 if them still carry fishing licences .so it appears that due yo covid is a new catch phrase for naw i dont feel like it,so it apears pacific angler DECIDED to stop selling licences, if the cashier had said only that i would have no problem because that would be HONEST,but telling me that no stores sell licences is dishonest .and terrible buisness oracticeso I went to Barrys bait and tackle and was treated great. I dont know if this us pacific anglers policy or the personal decision made by ..I should have asked his name.I will deinetiy never shopping there again

Knowledgeable, friendly, patient and helpful staff! Great experience getting set up for fall.

We have used Pacific Anglers services off and on for a number of years, starting with taking fly fishing lessons, and subsequently booking several different fishing charters. In August 2020, it was time to go again so we (my son, son-in-law, and myself) booked a 10 hour salmon fishing charter. Kathryn S handled the booking expertly, making the arrangement very easy to finalize. Eddie Matthie was our guide for the day. We spent most of the day near Nanaimo fishing for chinook. We boated four keepers and two other salmon which we released as they exceeded the maximum size allowed. (We also lost another that appeared to be a big one as well.) Eddie was a great guide: friendly; knowledgeable and entertaining. Based on our experience on multiple occasions, I wouldnt hesitate recommending Pacific Angler for lessons, charter, equipment or just plain tips.

Every time I go in to the store I am greeted by friendly people. I dealt with Jordan today to buy some downrigger supplies, he was very knowledgeable and helped me get the parts I needed. Easy to shop here.

I did the local waters course and due to my own circumstances was only able to do the classroom work and not go out on the boat. Regardless I was extremely impressed with the detail and highly recommend this course if you are going to do any fishing locally. Even without the boat experience I thought it was very good value for the money and wouldnt hesitate to recommend this to anyone thinking of getting out there!

Highly recommended. Friendly and helpful staffs.

Shortly after getting my own boat I took the saltwater fishing course. By far this is the best money I have ever spent in order to catch salmon. Successful fishing includes three things - where, how and when. Get one of them wrong and your chances of catching anything go down dramatically. And locally the where, how, and when changes often throughout the year. The wealth of knowledge that was shared during this course was simply phenomenal. The information in the evening course alone is worth the cost of the course - the day on the water is a nice bonus and time to ask more questions, watch and learn. Before I would go fishing and be very happy if I came home with something. Now I head out fairly confident that Ill be cleaning fish at the end of the day. Ive spent a lot of time on the water this summer and have seen lots of boats fishing without much success while I was getting more than my share. The knowledge gained from this course was the difference maker. On top of that whenever Im in the store to pick up the odd thing the service is impeccable.

Best customer service! We went into Pacific Angler over the weekend, during a busy sale looking to get into fishing. Jordan really took the time to walk through all of our options, was honest, not pushy, and answered all of our questions. He helped us pick a good beginner pole and helped us pick out a fishing kit. Jordan even set up our pole for us with our chosen rig setup. I cant recommend Pacific Angler enough. As a complete newbie to fishing Jordan really made us feel comfortable and ready to try out fishing.

Super friendly and knowledgeable people. Great product selection for every aspect of fishing. Rods/reels/tackle/flies/gear theyve got it all

Great local store with very knowledgeable people working there

Top tier customer service. Was truly impressed by how friendly and helpful these guys were. Its clear they just want everyone to have a good time fishing.

Had what we were looking for

Good knowledgeable people working, got lot of variation products

Our salmon charter with Pacific Angler was extremely disappointing and the staff handled the customer service poorly. We booked the trip for our anniversary and made the trip to Vancouver just to fish with them and did not catch any salmon. To add insult to injury our guide blamed us for booking the 5 hour trip instead of a full day and “not planning our trip around the tides”. It would have been helpful to have been informed about the length of trip and local tides when we booked so we could have done a longer trip. It was a very expensive boat ride we could have done on our own boat.

Great group of guys and an abundant selection of gear for the fly or gear angler.

Yes they deserve 5 stars because the guys are helping you to find best of what you need and recommending you where to find fish. Good experience shopping here thanks

Had a great fishing trip with Eddie.We will definitely booking again.Hoping Eddie will be our guide.The only thing that made fishing tough was the weather. Which could not be controlled. But he still made sure I came home with a big 19.5 lb salmon.Also Lars went above and beyond to get our best experience with a sturgeon / salmon fish. getting everything lined up for us. Both fishing days wouldnt have happened without all that you did. Vary happy 😄

Always the best service and professionals ready to help you with anything you need.

Great store, helpful knowledgeable staff and fishing guide in the west coast appreciate the discount they offer.A conveniently located just down the street from Mountain Equipment Co-OP and open past 6 pm Fridays they are a quick stop the night before your annual fishing trips.

“Salt Water Fishing Course” Fantastic! One day of classroom and one day on the water. I wish I had done this ten years ago (but they didn’t have it then). So much local knowledge of the difference fishing spots, species of salmon, seasons, weather, gear. Enough to make your head explode (except it comes with an excellent course booklet). I would recommend this to experienced as well as new fisherman.

I visited Pacific Angler last week and had a great experience. They had everything I needed. Alex was assisting me and went above and beyond in helping me get outfitted for river fishing. Even shared some locations to try out. Thanks again guys!

Awesome staff, very passionate and helpful. Thank you.

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Absolutely love coming here!

Exceptional knowledge base amongst the staff that work here. Very willing to help. Dont be afraid to ask questions. Only downside is that its a bit pricey, but its worth it for the expertise.

I took the saltwater fishing course from Jason and crew at Pacific Angler. Best money I ever spent on fishing. The course and on-water session were so informative. I had barely caught any salmon in the Vancouver fishery for years. Since the course, weve caught over 20 salmon this summer on my boat. Plus, the in-store service is great. Highly recommended.

I can’t say enough good about this shop, excellent range of equipment with knowledgeable staff with expertise in many types of fishing, be it salt water, freshwater, bait, fly or any combination. They are always friendly and willing to give advice and helpful direction. If you feel you want to try something a little new, check out their courses. I was surprised how much there was to learn and how well the course and subsequent guided day on the river was put together. I would have no hesitation recommending this shop, the fishing courses and guided trips to friends and family.

Its been a year since I took up fly fishing, and have found myself addicted. This addiction and - more importantly - my overall enjoyment when Im on the water is largely tied to the support Ive received from the folks at Pacific Angler. Some key reasons why this is the case:Education: Pacific Angler offers a number of courses, helping you to learn skills ranging from learning to fly fish to tying your own flies. In the absence of these courses, I wouldnt have gained the knowledge I now possess as quickly or at all. Equally importantly - the team in the store is always ready and willing to help answers to questions you may have; Ive probably gained a third of my knowledge by just talking to the team while in the shop. Their courses and customer service provide you with a learning experience that is key to success on the water and enjoyment of the sport.Products and Sales: Pacific Angler is stocked with all of the gear youll need, and if theres something youre looking for thats not in stock, theyll order it in for you. Thats largely standard/what I would expect, but whats more important is their desire to make sure you get the equipment that meets your needs. On several occasions, Ive gone in and spoken to their team about an item Im considering purchasing. Often, their recommendations focus on whats best for me - even if its a lower cost item. I always feel as though my interests are front and centre, and not is if Im trying to be sold the most expensive gear there.The People: Walking into Pacific Angler is as comfortable as going to a friends place. All of the folks that work there are kind and genuine and work hard to remember your name and what your interests are. As a beginner to the sport, it is often intimidating to ask questions. While Im still intimidated by the wealth of knowledge they possess - once you crack the ice or flag to them that youre a newb, theyre incredibly supportive and happy to answer any questions you have.Simply put - this is the type of business I like to support through my purchases because it is the type of business that I believe adds value to our communities.

We are from Squamish, B.C. and use Pacific Angler when we need tackle. Recently we came down for a sizable purchase which Alex helped organize over the phone. Traffic was heavy and with a small accident on the Lions Gate bridge, the trip took us 10 minutes past closing time. Alex was good enough to stay and wait, and then gave good service and advice when he could have gone home. We appreciate the effort the staff at P.A. exhibits whenever we visit.

Pacific Angler is hands down the best fly fishing shop I have ever had the pleasure to visit. Since finding the shop some 5+ years ago I was always treated as a friend and valued customer. The staff at PA are anglers themselves and provide excellent first-hand advice on the products they sell.Thanks guys and keep up the good work.Kevin

Its a perfect place to find a wide range of fishing supplies. The person who was there is so attempting and polite!!

Favorite place. Way more than a store, a school, a place to make friends. I love it

The best service, selection and advice of all the shops in the lower mainland. They dont have stuff that wont work well. (Just the goods). These folks are dialed in the fishery, and will put you on fish.

Its a good store considering its the only fishing store in Vancouver aside from MY fly fishing store. Prices are similar to Canadian Tire. Pros- more speciality items and personalised service for the most part. Knowledgable staff.Unfortunately the till line up was a bit hairy due to the sale (?). I was lining up for the till but was overlooked twice. They let other clients that were being helped by staff before me despite my waiting - twice! Disappointed today.

Great service! I was there because my wife was in the furniture store next to it and i ended up getting sold a new rod and reel. i would have given it 5 stars but it was a bit pricey for my liking

Hands down best fishing store in Vancouver. What sets them apart from other fishing stores is their customer service. Yes they have a wide and great selection of gear but its their ability to give information and service in a extremely effective non pretentious manner, its what keeps me coming back.

Super guys, super shop. Everything is first class. I call / email and though I dont live in Vancouver, I get first class service and advice. Highly recommended!

Bought a basic rod with them to take backpacking. The reel broke a year later so I brought it in to ask about warranty. They said its unlikely but they would try. Warranty never came through but they called me to tell me they had fixed it themselves. No charge. How awesome is that?

Alex has amazing customer service skills and very knowledgable when it comes to angling. I had allot of questions today since I am shopping for my first setup. He was patient and I never felt rushed, all of my questions were thoroughly answered. I look forward to shopping at Pacific Angler again after that experience.

Expert staff who are happy to talk anything fishing related even if youre just there to browse. High quality gear to make sure your lines are always tight.

Very pleasant crew, good product variety. Today was my initial visit; I shall return.

Good selection of gear for salmon fishing, my favourite. Knowledgable, helpful staff.

Awesome place to go check out and gear up. If you want a place with people that know the ins and outs of fly fishing this is the place to go!

Friendly helpful knowledgeable staff and great selection of good quality products

The staffs there were very nice, they helped me do the line for free! Thanks a lot!

This place is THE MOST expensive place to buy Tackle and gear! Rip Off!3X more than any other Save your hard earned money and time and try elsewhere!

Best staff and gear selections. Super friendly and knowledgeable team.

Very friendly staff who are always willing to help fisherman of any level. Don’t be intimidated if you’ve never held a rod before as they’ll happily kit you up for you’re first trip, and even help set up you’re rig.

This store is amazing. Guys spent 2 hours totally re-conditioning my Abel reel and no charge!

Great service very exceptional...found a new home at this tackle shop...i highly recommend this place... more power to you guys.....Rafael

People who works there are great and super helpful! They have everything you need for fishing.

Staff are great, knowledgable and have a great selection of gear from lures to waders and rods and reels. Thanks Pacific Angler. 👍👍👍👍👍

Lots of product, selection and good staff! Matt is really great to deal with!

Awesome place for all your fishing needs. Custom tied flys!

I needed a replacement rod for a fishing trip. I had shown up to pick up the Redington Crosswater Outfit for $175 (Great Value!) but the last one had just been sold. I had to wait for the next shipment. When it had arrived in the country it needed to be picked up. I called ahead to confirm it would be ready on Tuesday and and my trip was on Wednesday. When I had arrived on Tuesday to pick it up the guys (Max and Matt) told me because of some issues the shipment wasnt able to be picked up. I was a little choked but right away Matt said he could offer me a loaner rod, but I was hesitant to play with gear that wasnt mine. He then offered to build me a setup at the equivalent cost because the shipping error was theirs... These guys go above and beyond for their customers. Trust that they have your best interests in mind! Stop by and chat with these experts. Ill be seeing you guys soon!!! Big bites and big fights, fish on,

The place to go for all your fishing needs. Super informative staff and helpful. Jordan is my guy.

Brest shop on Vancouver. These guys have great advice and can fix anything !! Definitely recommending it !

Very good shop has every thing from fresh water to salt and gear to fly as well good bunch of guys too

This has been my local shop for years. The team is awesome and I always have a good time stopping by. The gear is top notch and the staff are some of the most knowledgeable fisherman in the country. It doesn’t matter if you are fishing local or packing for a trip accross the globe, the team at Pacific Angler will ensure you have what you need to see success. If it wasn’t for this shop and my countless hours there I would ever be the fisherman I am today and my wife would probably have a bigger diamon on her finger...🤦🏻‍♀️ (Priorities). Tightlines!

I am writing this feedback to share our disappointment for the salmon fishing trip we had last week with Pacific Anglers. I usually never write a feedback but because this trip was so promising and so expensive - I really want to warn others, so they avoid making the same mistake.The disappointment wasnt so much about the promised fish (which we didnt catch), but about the service weve received for the money we paid (over 600$ for the 5 hour trip including long trip to the actual fishing place and back)It all started with the driving directions that were sent to us a day before the trip. To say they were extremely confusing is to say nothing. We ended up driving back and forth to get to that same location mentioned in the email because the road is just one way, and finally, when we got there, the guide said we can just park anywhere meaning all these efforts and time were simply wasted.Now about the trip itself. During the whole trip our guide almost didnt say a word, we had to ask him every single thing about the fishing, and his answers were very lazy, not detailed, more a yes or no answers.When we got to the place, he didnt explain the set up, he was just doing his own thing silently, we had to pull the words out of him which was really awkward. When he finished the setup, he just sat down and started texting on his phone. It really looked unprofessional and we had an impression he is not really enjoying his job. We waited for some explanations of what he is doing, something that should make this trip an adventure as was promised on their website, and not just sit and wait game.Also, I really didnt like how he treated my husband when the fish hooked for the first time as he didnt know how to pull it to the board and our guide didnt explain thoroughly what to do, just summarized quickly expecting us to do it on the fly, not even showing once, and then getting mad at my husband for not being able to keep the fish on the hook. He basically blamed him for loosing the catch.. He actually said I dont like when people do this, I really get mad when people do this... This was not very nice ..Ive read reviews about this tour before purchasing it and I didnt find a single bad review, only 5 star reviews, the experience we had was quite the opposite. The only thing that was nice at the end - were the crab traps. At least we had a few crabs to bring home.I really like fishing, we often go on our own, but this experience was first and last, such a disappointment, the money and time wasted. Maybe this company has a good reputation in selling equipment for fishing, but they obviously dont train their guides customer service skills (at least the one we had) and how to coach others.

Booked a charter with Pacific angler, only to have it cancled 2 hours before our afternoon trip. This was for my brother, my self and uncle whom was visiting from out of country for a short trip. He had been wanting to fish with us and had been wanting to do this for years, he has liver cancer and has returned home. He will probably never have a chance to fish again... at least cancel first thing in morning so we could find other options, never followed up for a reschedule either. Extremely disapointed. I am a avid fly fisherman, and will NEVER purchase or recommend Pacific angler charters after this experience.

These guys are the best! They know fishing!Product support, set up where to fish and knowledgeable staff! Why go anywhere else!!

Fantastic selection, knowledgable staff, and reasonable prices; great with kids.

Very helpful staff and comprehensive stock of all kinds of fishing gear.

Knowledgeable staff. Spooled up my reel for me.

Great selection and lots of helpful info!
