Your gateway to guided rivers, expert gear, and local fly fishing know-how.
St Mary Angler brings more than 30 years of fly fishing experience to Cranbrook. Locals and visitors stop in for gear tailored to the waters of southeastern British Columbia and a conversation with staff who know these rivers inside and out. Beyond the shop walls you’ll find guided trips on free-stone rivers like the St. Mary, Elk, Bull, Skookumchuck and Upper Columbia, each day spent chasing cutthroat, rainbow and bull trout in waters that stay quiet and wild well into autumn.
At the fly shop you’ll find a curated selection of rods, reels, flies and accessories that suit local conditions. The team can custom tie patterns, help with techniques and point you toward the right line for the day’s water. When you’re ready to turn that gear into time on the water, the guides at St Mary Angler handle the logistics, present water knowledge you can’t get from a map and take care of lunch on full-day trips.
Whether you’re just learning to cast or chasing a trophy run, St Mary Angler makes it easier to connect with the rivers that define this place. Book ahead to secure dates during the peak season or talk to the crew about hosted trips that take you beyond local waters.
