Well it's looking like our Thanksgiving will be spent in Calgary this year. It will be great to be together with family but I'm also curious about fly fishing the Bow which I've heard so much about. My two teenage boys and I are new to flyfishing this season but have had some great outings with plenty of eager (and not too discriminating cutthroat). Can anyone suggest access points to wade from if we can break away from festivities for an afternoon? This Edmontonian appreciates your hospitality! Thanks!
Head down to the community of Riverbend off Deerfoot trail and 18 street SE park your vehicle at the park and walk about a hundred yards to the river, great fishing on both sides of the foot bridge, good rainbows and later in the season great holes for browns.
Some other good access spots are Glenmore Trail and the Southland dog park. Good luck! I don't do very well on the bow but usually manage at least a whitefish with a weighted nymph rig. Pheasant tail nymphs work pretty well.
