    Knowledgeable staff, very helpful. Terrific stock range and all baits available, just love the place and have done for the last 20 odd years. Still think it is the best tackle shop in Cardiff,over 30 years now. Just bought another Rod and Reel, I would have spent more but with their advice I bought a balanced set up which should see me casting even further.

    Having decided to return to fly fishing after a 30 years break from it, I decided to visit this store today with the intention of purchasing all the essentials tackle I need to enable me to get back out on the water again. This store offers an extensive range of fly tackle, clothing, etc at very competitive prices! In comparison to other outlets and online retailers you would be really hard pushed to find another store with such a fantastic range of fly fishing goods at such great prices & friendly, knowledgeable customer service. Big thanks to Paul who took the time to patiently assist with serving and offering me loads of guidance. If you haven’t already shopped here I throughly recommend you do! Jon.

    Well stocked, helpful staff - recently bought a new fly-rod and was given the chance to take a rod to a local park to try it out. Every time I go in I'm welcomed with a smile and given great advice. Love this place.

    We received great help for our first visit and came away happy with more items than we planned which is a good sign I think. A great one stop shop (or indeed two shops) for all your fishing needs.

    Amazing selection of tackle at a good price. Staff very helpful and always willing to give advice. Parking in cathays can be difficult though so go early ☺️

  • 5/5 Daniel W. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome shop, excellent range of fly fishing stock, from reels, rods fly tying materials waders etc. Super helpful staff, I spoke to a gentleman on the phone who advised me on the best flies to tie for my local rivers and said to pop down for a chat. I’m so glad I did! Being a beginner in the fly tying world the gentlemen I spoke to (didn’t catch his name) showed me what I truly needed and what I didn’t in order to tie the advised flies and gave a lot of helpful advice on different variations I can tie with a small amount of materials. Can’t thank him enough! Incredibly helpful and a wealth of knowledge. I’ll be back down next week for a chat and to see what I did right/wrong on the flies I tied! Highly recommend, absolute hidden gem of a shop. Oh and very good prices too!

    I thought I would start fishing after about 15 years of giving up, I explained to Gary Evans and he was very helpful and also gave me a good discount on my purchases. You have a new loyal customer. Thank you regards Keith
