We are located at the ferry landing in Balfour, British Columbia, in the middle of some of the best fishing in the world. Home of the Giant Gerrard Rainbow Trout, Big Bull Trout and the famous landlocked Kokanee, to to mention Whitefish, protected Sturgeon, and some Big Mouth Bass in the south end of the lake. Kids fish in the Gill and Gift fall derby for coarse fish as well.
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.
If you are coming in from out of town, do call in and introduce yourself... we love to meet new fishers. Our informed staff will be sure to help you with tackle choices and help you with the latest information on what is happening on the lake today.
Looking for a charter? give us a call and we can help hook you up.
If you prefer to shop on line...
We do mail products out from the store if you wish to go that way. Check out our selections of billies and flies on our e-catalogue page, or call and request ... and don't forget the fishing pictures in our photo galleries. If you call the store we will try to arrange to sell you anything we have on hand. We have not listed the vast variety of supplies we have but you are welcome to ask about them when you call.
