The most efficient way to fly
fish the Bow River is from a drift boat. Fly
fishing the Bow River from a drift boat allows
the angler to cover more water, and enables
access to areas that would otherwise be unreachable
walking or wading. Guided Bow River Fly fishing
drift boat trips are offered in full, half
and multiple day excursions. All trips include
client pick up and drop off at requested location
and fly fishing instruction for beginner anglers.
Drift boat trip Rates are listed below.
Group trips that require multiple boats (more
than 2 people) are also offered. To inquire about
dates or group size please don’t hesitate to Contact
us for more information.
*Please note that all tripsdo not include the cost of:
Alberta fishing license, flies, leaders or gratuities
for your guide. Although is customary to tip your
guide at the end of the day it is not required
and left strictly to the client’s discretion.
All gratuities are greatly appreciated by our
guide staff.
