Default Looking at a guided trip on the Bow

A friend and I are wanting to take a guided day trip on the Bow. I'm looking for suggestions on the best guides and the best time of year for big bows and browns. Thanks for any help

Terry Johnson out of Fishtales shop. Can't go wrong. Bow should fish well in a few weeks!
Good luck.

Default Drift Out West

Quinn Soonias of Drift Out West Fly Fishing

I know and have worked with many of the local guides (as I am a FF Guide but don't guide floats trips, just walk and wades and hike in alpine lake trips) and would recommend many but not all - some popular guides are not all that professional in my opinion. Quinn in my opinion is friendly, professional, humble, and gracious.

Whomever you choose, do your research and make sure they know exactly what you want! Many guides will throw on a double worm rig to get you into fish, but that's all they will do! Be specific with what you want (and honest with your skills) and ask questions! A lot of fly-by-nighters guide the Bow.

Quinn's contact info:

Cheers,

Barry White of Bow River Anglers. He is a legend on the Bow. Also one of the few certified master casting instructors in Alberta.
