Very Important Notice:
We have moved to a new our location.4426 Regent Street. The new location is directly behind our old store in the same building. You can get to us through the alley beside the old shop or park on Regent Street just past the intersection on 45th Ave. If you can't find us give us a call. Same great service and FREE parking. John Fehnel, Owner

As we continue to find ways to protect and be less entursive toour Wild Steelhead our shop now sells and uses exculusively Ultra Lightweight Clear Injected Molded Bags with Soft Rubber Feel on all our Steelhead Nets and Boat Nets. These nets as you see are non abrasive on the fishes outer area as well alot easier to get the hook retrieved without fouling in the net which other nets seem to do so well.
