Hi,  my name is Randy and I'm Truus

and you have just entered the Balfour Gill and Gift website.

We are located at the ferry landing in Balfour, British Columbia, in the middle of some of the best fishing in the world.

Our 1st goal is to be the best tackle/souvenir shop on Kootenay Lake, hence the name Gill & Gift.

Catching the giant Gerard Rainbow Trout in Kootenay Lake can be very frustrating. Colors, technique and location are critical. Your first stop should be at the Gill and Gift. We have the latest information and tackle you need to make your Kootenay Lake fishing trip a success. See our fishing page for  information to help you out.

Also new to the site this year is the long requested ability to place an order by phone or email. We will be starting with a selection of Bill Norman lures and Mikes Flies and add other products as we are able to do so.  You can also purchase other tackle and souvenir items by calling in to see what is available.  250-229-2113.  Some of you have already been doing this and we appreciate the business you are giving us. 

  The prices listed are price before taxes and shipping.  Shipping is the cost of the mailing to you - Canada  Post regular mail.  We do not have other handling costs unless you request something special i.e. insured, courier.  All purchases must be paid for at time of shipping. Do not put your credit card numbers in emails.  We will call at time of shipping for your credit card number.
