June-September
Come experience some of the finest trout fishing in North America. Southern Alberta’s Bow River is renowned for its large and hard fighting rainbow and brown trout. The Bow has a strong and robust trout population of over 2,000 fish per mile! The good news is this incredible fishery is located near Calgary making it one of the easiest fly fishing destinations to get to with several direct flights from most major U.S. airports.
Once in Calgary there is no need to rent a vehicle as the guides will pick you up from the airport and transport you to the Carriage House Inn for your stay. The Inn is within walking distance from several attractions, including a variety of restaurants and breweries.
By western standards, the Bow is large tailwater fishery and tailormade for fly fishing from a drift boat. Anglers can expect to use a variety of techniques during their trip from streamer fishing, nymphing, and dry fly fishing. These guides are all expert instructors and will patiently teach you and put you on big trout!
