Guest Fly Tyers

Our guest tyers include Sheldon Seale, Elliott Deighton and many others.



Great Selection ~ Excellent Service ~ Friendly Advice

WILSON'S is focused on providing great customer service. Period. What it comes down to is this: if you need something and we don't have it (which doesn't happen that often) we'll do our best to get it. If it's broken we'll do our best to get it fixed because we want to earn the right to be your fly shop and are always looking for ways to do things better.
If you have a comment our owner, Jim Wilson, will welcome the opportunity to meet over a coffee. Jim can be reached through the store or via fly_fisher@rogers.com.
We want to be your fly shop of choice!

Visit Our New Location!

WILSON'S relocated in 2007 to new larger premises and we are now almost twice the size! Not only do we have better lighting, custom fixtures and significantly more inventory, We finally have a location with ample parking at our front door!





New Tying Materials Have Arrived!

Our new materials have arrived and add to one of the best selections of fly tying materials in Canada. Whether you are tying for fresh water or salt we are the only place you need to visit !



Website Update

We are in the process of editing the beta version of our new e-commerce. If all goes as planned we will be live by April 21 - stay tuned!



Fresh & Salt Water Flies

Trout, Bass, Muskie, Steelhead, Pike, Panfish, Atlantic Salmon or Salt Water.
No other fly shop in Canada has our selection, quality or prices.



If We Don't Have It - You Don't Need It!

Ask around and you will learn that no other store in Ontario - and likely Canada - has a better selection of fly fishing gear. The big box retailer, the shop on the way to the river and certainly the web-head selling gear out of his living room on the internet don't come close!
On top of having a great selection of fresh and salt water flies and one of the best selections of fly tying materials in Canada, we carry 7 types of rods, 9 types of reels, 3 wader manufacturers and fly lines from 6 manufacturers.
Come in and check out our selection and pricing!



Get Your Mind Off Trout!

Tired of not catching big fish or fishing your 'secret' spot with 17 other anglers ? If so, get your mind off trout ! Ontario has incredible warm water fly fishing destinations and our staff know the rivers, lakes and streams better than the fish in them. We will get you onto water that few other anglers in this neck of the woods have even heard of let alone fished.
Give trout a rest and enjoy a day of bass, pike & muskie!

Friendly Advice

Flyfishing is supposed to be fun - at least in our shop!
Be prepared for a different attitude at WILSON'S because we give everyone the same level of friendly abuse... If you have a question, call us and not only will we be happy to help - we will make you feel welcome and comfortable asking any question.
We often hear people say "I'm not a fly fisher because I've only been flyfishing for "x" years...". What's with that ? We don't care where you fish, what you fish for or how big your last fish was. At WILSON'S everyone who enjoys the sport is a "fly fisher" - not just the so-called "experts" !



Conservation

WILSON'S is pleased to be involved with Trout Unlimited Canada (TUC) and other like-minded organizations in helping to preserve and enhance the Credit River through WeCARE - the West Credit Appreciation, Rehabilitation & Enhancement Project. We are also helping to create new fly fishing destinations in Ontario by assisting local clubs with fund raising.
For details on how we can help please contact the store.



Charitable Donations

If you know of an organization looking for a donation to raise money for a good cause, WILSON'S will be pleased to help. We have worked with a number of organizations including the Canadian Cancer Society, United Way of Toronto, Canadian Diabetes Association, OFAH, Vinefara, Stratford Festival, National Youth Orchestra and Ontario Nature.
We are happy to make a donation to your event!



Our Pricing Policy

WILSON'S wants to earn the right to be your fly shop and that begins with having the best possible price. Accordingly, if you find the same product at a lower regular landed price at any other legitimate fly fishing retailer we will give you a store credit for the difference plus 10%
It doesn't get any better than this!
