Hook Line and Sinker & The First Cast Fly Shop

Welcome to Hook, Line & Sinker

Hook, Line and Sinker Fishing Tackle (HLS) has been established since April of 1993. 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 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 you looking for something special and can’t find it, give us an opportunity to try. 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.

Can’t make the trip to Guelph? Although we would love to see you in the store to chat and hear your fishing stories, with the rising gas prices, Mail Order is another viable and cost effective option that we offer our customers.

2010 Steelhead Derby

I would first like to thank the 40 individuals who fished to 2010 HLS / TFC Steelhead Derby.

This year, we opted for the mighty Saugeen River. I'm not sure if we put a beating on the river, or it took it's toll on us. Let's just say that most of the Steelhead were left unharmed. The “fishing” was however fantastic - the “catching” wasn't as fruitful - 90% of the day was the company we were with.

By day's end, there were thirty-five steelhead over 20” landed, seven of which were landed by Charlie Crosby, our 2010 Winner. He should be very proud of the quality fish he was able to muster up during a tough day's fishing - He'll truly have bragging rights for the year.

Due to large crowds already on the river when we arrived, the hi-lite for most of us, was the warm Pizza delivered to the parking lot at day's end.

I look forward to the continued success of this event and thank you again for your continued support.

Hook Line &Sinker and The First Cast is pleased to announce the introduction of several new and exciting product lines to our family of quality products.
