Thinking about heading down south to check out some rods and reels for saltwater fly fishing. Does cabela's or BPS have much of a selection, WSS in GP (2 hours south of me) doesn't have anything in the 12wt category, they said they would be willing to bring a rod in for me, but i want to see them befor i make a decision. If you guys could let me know what kind of stock they got on display that would be great, thanks!
I would talk to some flyshops and get a good idea of the options available to you. Not sure about Edmonton but Calgary does have a few shops that cater to the salt crowd. Nice to talk to someone in a store who has actually fished saltwater. What are you going after with the 12? Tarpon?

Give Troutfitters a call, they have Winston 12wt on sale right now
12wt is for tarpon, already got a 9wt for bones. I know i can chase baby tarpon with my 9, but i would hate to have to pass up casting to a monster tarpon simply because i did not have the gear for it. If i end up down there this week i'll check out that fishtales place.
If you are going to fish tales there is also Country pleasures nearby, I prefer them personally as they are very helpful as well as Chris at bow river trout fitters. Both awesome stores and both have very good knowledge
