Yes any dedicated Fly Fishing store (such as Bow River Troutfitters if you are Downtown, during lunch hour) will allow you to test rods.
I have even let my guiding clients (and offered AO folks on here) the opportunity to cast what rods I have (Winston, Sage, TFO, Redington and various custom rods, as it's the level of customer service I offer - I have no affiliation with any manufacture). It's best to have a "professional" observing you, as well that way they can assist you with choosing the best rod for you (and your casting style/stroke) and answer questions to help steer you in the right direction... Something that is (usually) not possible with a big box retailers (or online purchases).
