Our store has been located at its present location for 30 years. Formerly “Babcock Fly and Tackle” for the initial 19 years, the business was renamed in March 2005 when Kelly Davison purchased the store from Brian Babcock. Owner Kelly Davison, is a well known expert angler and guide, who managed Babcock Fly and Tackle for 15 years. The business name was changed to “Sea-Run Fly and Tackle Ltd.” to coincide with Kelly’s guiding service, Sea-Run Guiding. Brian Babcock remains a very good friend of everyone at the shope, and is still a regular visitor.
Our Philosophy
If you’re happy, we’re happy…that’s basically it. We are dedicated to providing quality service. It is our goal to provide you with the best equipment within your budget to ensure you to have a great experience out on the water. We carry the best fishing products in a wide range of prices. The quality of our products helps minimize the potential for equipment problems in the field, but as anyone who has fished a fair amount of time, will tell you, stuff happens. When stuff happens, you can be assured that the staff at Sea-Run will do their best to get you back on the water. From handling warranty claims, repairing rods and reels in-house (often times while you wait), we are dedicated to standing behind what we sell.
Not only do we want you to have the right equipment, we also want you to have the right information on fishing techniques and general information on your destinations, so you have the highest odds of success. The Sea-Run Team are all avid anglers, many of them licensed guides they have a wealth of knowledge on all types of river, stillwater, and ocean fishing in BC and beyond, including tropical saltwater fishing. When you shop at Sea-Run you can be assured you are receiving reliable and current information on your fisheries of choice.
It is our goal to continue to establish a long-term clientele, of satisfied customers. We know we can only achieve this through a high level of customer service, a diverse range of quality products, and reliable information on techniques and fisheries.
