Welcome to fly fishing the Bow river near Banff Alberta Canada with your guide Big Jim Dykstra.
We walk and wade the Bow River angling towards some fine trout; mostly browns but some rainbows, brookies, cutthroat and bull trout too!! Sizes range from some smaller 8 inch tiddlers to more respectable fish in the 14-18 inch range to some real slobs in the 24+ inch range. We have flexible start and finish times and would be happy to guide your fishing party out into the wild blue waters of the Bow.
Big Jim, your guide, has been guiding on the Bow River year round since 1995.
G. Loomis fly rods, dry breathable waders and boots, the flies, tippet and leaders, transportation from your lodging, snacks and beverages, and guide are all included. The company’s arsenal of caddied three to spey weight G.Loomis fly rods are sure to make your day of fly fishing the Bow River a memorable event.

We request that our clients dress warm, as if going snowshoeing or skiing, as the Shack is about a 15 minute walk through the woods and onto the lake. A warm hat, gloves, winter jacket, snow pants and sunglasses would be the most appropriate wear. We have Kamik ice fishing boots (sizes 1-14) available for your use as well as spare jackets and snow pants if required.
