Not at all! Many of our guests are first-time fly fishers. Our Calgary guides provide patient, expert instruction so you'll be casting confidently within the first hour.
What's included in a guided Bow River float trip?
Everything you need: quality fly rods and reels, flies, waders, drift boat, streamside lunch, and expert guiding. Just bring sunglasses and dress for the weather.
When is the best time to fish the Bow River?
The Bow River fishes well year-round! Peak dry fly season runs June-September. Spring and fall offer excellent streamer fishing. Winter produces trophy browns.
How big are the trout on the Bow River?
The Bow River averages 16-18" trout with 20"+ fish common. Brown trout over 24" are caught regularly, with fish to 28" landed each season.
How far in advance should I book a guided trip?
Peak season (June-September) books 2-4 weeks out. For specific dates or weekend trips, book earlier. Off-season has more flexibility.
