BANFF FLY FISHING GUIDES

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.

SPIN FISH THE BOW RIVER

Not really interested in fly fishing? Or maybe just trying a little fly fishing but then blasting some lures out there for those fat, feisty, big trout. Spoons, spinners, plugs, crank baits, and plastics zing off my ultra light G. Loomis spinning rods. The big browns just out of reach?? Not out of reach for the big Cahuna collection, my 9 foot nine and ten foot ultra light summer steelhead rods. Talk about extending your casting range. Whhoooow!! Watch out for the other side of the river!

Browns, Brookies, Arctic Greyling, Rainbows, Cutthroat and Bull Trout are our main quarry. Let’s tackle some of those fat hawgs with my fine arsenal of G. Loomis rods.
