“Our customers sustain us, and we sustain their passion … “

About Us:

Hook, Line and Sinker Fishing Tackle, Home of The First Cast Fly Shop, was established in April of 1995. After over TWENTY YEARS in business, we have evolved on the premise that quality customer service and a non-intimidating atmosphere is as important as having a large selection of retail items. We are always striving for the highest standards in the industry and are proud of all the products we retail. As a fairly small store, lesson provider, and guiding service, we are able to give you that personalized treatment.

Although we are known for having a clean, friendly and well-stocked shop, no one store can inventory all items at all times. If you are looking for something special and can’t find it, give us an opportunity to source it. Much of our business comes from those hard to find items that we are able to locate. We will work hard to earn your trust. Our ability and access to cutting edge innovations keep you on top of your game.

Whether it’s equipment or “specialized” knowledge / information, we are here to help make your next fishing adventure memorable. Please browse our site to learn how we can further serve your needs or give us a call and our qualified personell will be there to serve you in any way possible.

We are the #1 provider of Traditional Fishing Tackle and Fly Fishing Tackle in Guelph and the surrounding area. Our store houses the BEST local selection of fishing related equipment for ALL target species when it comes to BOTH Fly or Traditional Gear.

Our Fly Fishing Shop / Store is located just minutes from the world famous Tailwater Fly Fishery – “The Grand River”. Since we are centrally located between Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, Georgian Bay and Lake Huron, we also guide for Steelhead and migratory Chinook and Coho Salmon on the tributaries of these Great Lakes.

Aside from the Upper Grand River and Credit River, the other Ontario Rivers that we guide include: the Lower Grand River, the Bighead River, the Saugeen River, the Nottawasaga River, the Maitland River, the Lower Credit River, the Niagara River and a few other lesser known lakes and streams.

The greatest compliment anyone could give us is the referral of a friend, family, or business associate. We sincerely appreciate your referrals!
