He graduated from St. John’s Central High School in 1979 and after graduation went on to serve a 24 year career as a Marine Electrician in the Canadian Navy. He started Mr. Fly in the early 1990’s and Incorporated in 1998, while still serving in the Canadian Navy as a means of supplying quality hand-tied atlantic salmon flies to stores throughout Eastern Canada. Richard’s wife, Keri LaViolette was born and raised in Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia where she graduated from Sackville High School in 1991 and has been working with the company since 2004.
This family owned and operated Atlantic Canadian wholesaler whose roots started as a distributor of fishing flies, has grown over the years to inclue a full line of hunting, fishing and camping supplies. Our motto was “if we don’t carry it, we will do our best to source it out for you”. With the aid of our 6,000+ square foot warehouse, we have expanded to include a compreshensive selection of hardware, household, dart supplies, automotive, clothing, toys, summer and winter seasonal, personal care, holiday’s, party supplies, mosquito products, rodent deterrents and pet supplies all of which make up the over 10,000 stocked sku’s. We are just about a one-stop shop for convenience, general, grocery, hardware & sport stores as well as pharmacies. With this in mind our motto has changed to, “if we don’t have it, you probably don’t need it”.
In our on-going effort to supply you with all of the latest and finest products we will continue to source and import products from all corners of the globe.
