About Temple Fork Outfitters Canada

Our Mission

To put quality fly fishing gear in the hands of anglers at an affordable price, while offering an exceptional warranty and superior service.


Who We Are

Temple Fork Outfitters Canada is a wholly owned Canadian company operating in Calgary, Alberta. The Canadian branch of TFO is independent of the American branch and serves Canadian customers exclusively. Meanwhile, all TFO rods are made in the same facility in South Korea (see additional comments below). If you've visited both the Canadian and American websites you will have noticed that although some rod series are carried by both branches, other rod series are only carried by one branch. The reason for this is that each branch carries rod series' that are region and water specific. Because of this, TFO Canada is unable to perform any kind of repair or replacement on a rod bought in the US, and vice versa.


Our Story

Temple Fork Outfitters began well over a decade ago when its founders decided, contrary to popular belief, that high-performance fly rods with an exceptional warranty could be made available to the public at an affordable price. With decades of collective experience in the industry and even more experience fly fishing, they spent countless hours seeking out the highest quality fly rod maker to fulfil their vision. Initially, production was limited to a single 5wt, 6wt, and 8wt rod. However as new technologies became available and Temple Fork Outfitters popularity grew, so did its fly rod line up. Not only this, we also began developing conventional rods to cater to West Coast Ocean and sea-run fishing enthusiasts.

Temple Fork Outfitters Canada, with Springbrook Manufacturing, has developed many solid relationships with other premier fly fishing brands over the years. Combined together they distribute a well-rounded product range of top quality fly fishing equipment and accessories all across come cast into our site to take a look at all the brands and products we represent.


Where Our Rods Are Made

We're proud of the fact that all Temple Fork Outfitters fly rods and conventional rods are handcrafted in South Korea. The manufacturing facility is controlled by TFO and the facility manufactures TFO products exclusively. Our rod designer has years of engineering and manufacturing experience and is solely responsible for developing our proprietary technologies based on the feedback from our Advisory Staff.  He is passionate about what he does and it shows in the diversity and quality of our rods.

A common misconception is that Asian manufacturing quality is below that of products made in the U.S.A. and Europe. Although this may be true in some cases, it is important to keep in mind that not all Asian countries use the same materials, construction practices, or quality control processes in their manufacturing. In our experience, the quality of a product varies based on who is making it, not where it's being made. If you are unsure about buying a Korean made rod, what we can offer you is our first hand experience and assurance; we have hand selected the materials used to build our rods, we've seen the careful attention to detail and meticulous craftsmanship that goes into assembling them, and we have thoroughly tested all of our products before bringing them to market.

Buying directly from the distributor. Usual retail prices. Warranty service for TFO rods. No true sales display for all their products.

An Alberta company that cares is what I would say about TFO. The biggest challenge for me is that they only stay open until 4. Today they helped me out. I've attached their pamphlet regarding the warranty.

Bought a Temple Fork Outfitter tenkara rod (the co-branded one with Patagonia). On my third trip out fishing, first cast, the handle section splintered about 5" above the grip. Went to Patagonia to warranty it and was told it had to go to TFO so I sent it to TFO. TFO then told me that it wasn't from casting and that it was crushed so it wouldn't covered by warranty. Told them it was in fact from casting and then was told that it would have to through Patagonia to be warrantied. Told them Patagonia sent me to them - was then told the rod would be mailed back to me and was hung up on ...

I visited the shop in Calgary today for a rod repair, talk about efficient and easy to deal with!!! Also purchased a rod case to avoid further repairs :) With this kind of service, I see no reason to own anything but Temple Forks Rods in the future.

Helpful, knowledgeable, friendly staff at this store. I ordered my stuff online and was able to go into their store and pick up the items next day. Their rods are beautifully constructed and reasonably priced. I will continue to buy gear from TFO. Awesome company.

Terrible customer service. Took 2 - 7wt flyrods, bought together, to the TFO Calgary office, after they broke. One had 4 hours on it and the other 10 hrs. While fishing for pink salmon, 4 to 6 lbs., both rods (2 piece rods) broke in almost the same place on the tip section. I told the owner, Ken, the details. He proceeded to pull a magnifying instrument and looked for microscratches on the rod. Upon finding one he said the rods failed because of the abuse to them. Really? These rods were not cheap and were babied. Did he mean that both rods were microscratched at the very same point? I never got the answer to this as he just walked away and got someone else to deal with me. I have tried to talk with him via phone to see if this could be solved on a more friendly term and all I received were the same lame excuse as before and he hung up. Both rods failed at the same place on the rod under the same conditions with a fish on. Seems more like a flaw in the manufacturing. Was it warranty covered? No, they charged me for both of the replacements. Customer service, gets a zero from me. I will never buy another TFO product as the warranty is non existent as is the customer service. Replaced broken rods with Echo and have had nothing but great performance.
