Float the Bow mid November with a guide? 50th Bday for my bro.

[bmckenney]

I live in Calgary and love fishing and love the Bow but never been on it with a guide. And found it very difficult to fly fish which is not news to anyone. But I know a guide will make all the difference.

My brother is living in Tampa Bay now and will be here Nov 20th timeframe. Going skiing at Sunshine actually. And it's his 50th and I'd like to take him fishing as he did for me back in the day. But I don't want to splurge for a guide and fish in sub-optimal off-season conditions. We can push the gift trip out even a year if we have too. But his Bday is in November and if that is a good time to float and fly fish the Bow then we can look at a guide.

And I have one day to do this trip and it has to be a day trip from Calgary. We have family events to attend to. So no sturgeon on the Fraser or cutties on the Elk etc. I need a day trip from Calgary. And prefer fly fishing obviously.

Would you advise to pursue this or push it out for another time?

Thanks, Bryan.
