Fly Fishing Bow River

The guys at Fly Fishing Bow River are incredible! I booked a float as a surprise retirement gift and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. Dana was quick to respond to emails and made sure our group was comfortable heading into our day of fishing.

We had spectacular day on the Bow River with Tim and Troy. They demonstrated patience with beginners and those of us slow to set. Both guides shared in the excitement of each fish that was caught and handled them with care. They took the mantra ‘Love People Catch Fish’ to heart. We can’t say enough good things about these guys!

We will remember this day forever and are already planning a trip for next year!

Thanks again Dana, Tim and Troy!

These guys are exceptional. I’ve fly fished for the better part of four decades and have not seen a better guide than Troy. He’s dedicated to the craft of guiding, and it shows. It’s rare to find a guide who is at once meticulous and joyfully carefree; passionate and fishy, but even more interested in the people he is with. I fished with my 12-year-old son and for two days Troy diligently balanced teaching technique, drawing him out, staying on him, and always ensuring he had fun. And fun we had. I suppose I should mention the gorgeous scenery and big, beautiful trout we landed. But even though they are remarkable fish—breathtaking in their power, health, color, and abundance—the fishing was somehow secondary to the over all experience. We wanted for nothing (what more could one want than big fish sipping dries), and each day was wrapped in gratitude. Whether you have traveled the world with a fly rod, or are picking one up for the first time, Troy, the Bow River, and the team at Fly Fishing Bow River Outfitters are not to be missed. Thanks again guys, see you soon!

This was an amazing experience. Dana and Tim were our guides and they couldn't have been more knowledgable, patient and enjoyable during our eight hours on the river. Everybody caught memorable fish and learned a ton throughout the trip. At one point we stopped for lunch and noticed a fish raising. Tim rigged up a hopper/dropper rig for me to use to try and catch the fish. Dana was patient in teaching me how to cast to the spot I needed to get to and eventually I caught a really nice rainbow trout. Whether you are a rookie with no experience or if you have been on rivers your whole life, I guarantee Dana and his crew will give you a day on the river you will always remember. If you have been thinking about a guided river float, look no further than these guys.

I cannot say enough about Dana, Tim and Troy. We had 3 boats on the water and EVERYONE had a blast. I have never had a fishing day like that in my life. Not only were the fish HUNGRY! but, the guides were amazing. New friends for life. They were very experience, provided excellent gear, patience and instruction. We had all levels of fishermen in our crew and the rookie is now HOOKED and is getting gear for Christmas! I won't float the bow with anyone else, these guys are excellent human beings who care about the water, the fish and sharing experiences with great people. Looking forward to my next trip!

The guides are absolutely outstanding. They hosted a 4 hour trip for a group of veterans down the bow river and the day was amazing. Easy going guys, very knowledgeable and great instructors as well. It was my first time fly fishing and Dana’s instructions were perfect for someone who was just starting out. During his mending demo he caught a fish (show off). We will be back. Thanks guys 🍻
