The definition of Host in the dictionary is worded as “A person who receives or entertains another as a guest” and this web site is intended to do just that. When a guide takes clients out fly-fishing, they are really hosting customers through entertaining them by a means of providing guidance and direction. After the guests’ trip is over, they should have caught some nice fish, had a nice meal, enjoyed some companionship and learned some new skills to improve their fishing technique. This is the essence of guiding and our companies main objective is to pass these tangible experiences on to our customers through this web site and our company service.

Time For Something Different

We would never try to suggest our fisheries up here in Alberta are any better than any other location around the world. Coming from a military background, Pat and Bob have traveled extensively over the years as part of their jobs. This has provided the opportunity for both of us to fish many fantastic fisheries in many different areas. Therefore, we recognize there are many superb fisheries all over the world that provide a wonderful opportunity to hunt for trout. They are all very diverse and offer a variety of challenges and special significance to many anglers. It is not our place to infringe on your own personal feelings that you have about the places you find special.

Sometimes, though, it is nice to discover new places and see new water on a vacation that will allow you to relax and fully enjoy yourself. As you will see in the visual part of this web site this area we operate in offers many special challenges and opportunities of its own for even the most experienced fly-fisherman. We feel the fisheries discussed on the website will fulfill your expectations, desires and goals. While we will try our utmost to ensure, you fully enjoy yourself from the operations and logistical end of responsibility. We will let you be the judge on how this area affects you and how much you enjoyed yourself while you visited this region.

What To Expect

Within this area or region (4 hours in any direction), there are some real special challenges and rewards for the adventurous angler. There is the adventure of high elevation trips for Golden trout and Cutthroat trout in beautiful surroundings; alternatively, an angler could fly off on an intoxicating heli-fishing trip into a seclude river system with wild cutthroats eagerly rising to dry flies, or spending a day floating down some real challenging match the hatch rivers looking for a huge dream fish.

The next day we could even, whisk you off to an intimate match the hatch walk and wade trip to our most prolific small stream the Crowsnest River. When most anglers fish this river they swear they are somewhere in Montana due to the magnificent scenery. Yet, many visiting anglers comment on how they find it hard to believe that the Crowsnest River can have such magnificent match the hatch type fishing. Even harder to believe is that there are significant numbers of good-sized trout in truly magnificent surroundings, yet the stream is usually un-crowded during midweek.

There is the outside chance to catch brown trout up to 30” on the surface with dry flies and rainbows up to 24” in a variety of techniques. If the planets all align perfectly and conditions present themselves, there is the possibility of catching a 20” plus cutthroat on the dry fly. Conversely, the angler may possibly catch, gently handle and release a real monster brown of 30” or a bull trout over 30” on streamers. However the angler will generally experience trout fishing where the size will range from 16”-20” with the very real expectation of a 22”-24” trout on a good day.
