Alberta - Brown & Rainbow Trout
Alberta and the magnificent Rockies need little introduction. Our holidays have been put together with the fisherman in mind, but knowing that anyone visiting this part of the world will naturally want to combine fishing with touring the Rockies.
We off fishing in the following areas: Bow River, Banff National Park, Jasper National Park, Crowsnest Pass
Guiding
Go Fishing Worldwide has the most experienced guides for fishing the Bow River in Calgary and Banff, as well as rivers and lakes in the Jasper area and Crowsnest Pass. Many people fish in the Rockies, and it is important to have a guide so that you do not waste fishing time.
Bow River
Bow River flows from Banff National Park's Bow Lake through the mountains and widens into the large, fertile stream on the prairie. What sets it apart from other rivers is the large size of wild brown and rainbow trout. Heavy caddis and mayfly hatches allow for spectacular dry fly fishing. A variety of birds and wildlife make an exciting trip for non-fishing partners. 16ft Lavro McKenzie drift boats designed for fly fishing are used and there is some fishing from the boat, but wading is the norm.
Fishing Seasons: Brown, Rainbow, Brook & Cutthroat Trou - 15 April to 15 October (Avoid run off first 2 weeks of June)
