How your 2 days go
1. Meet your guide
We start at the river we picked together for your dates and experience level. I go over the plan and the gear.
2. Day one on the river
We walk and wade the river, with a lunch break and drinks. I read the water with you and adjust flies and technique as we go.
3. Camp dinner and night
We fish a second day, with another lunch and drinks. I take photos and videos of your trip, and you get them for free.
4. Day two and photos
We fish a second day, with another lunch and drinks. I take photos and videos of your trip, and you get them for free.
Fish you may meet in the backcountry: rainbow trout, westslope cutthroat, brown trout, brook trout, bull trout and Rocky Mountain whitefish. On request, we can also look at Arctic grayling in rivers, lake trout in large, deep lakes, or golden trout in high mountain lakes. On our guided trips, every fish is released unharmed. See all fish species.

Rivers for your 2-day trip
CHOOSE YOUR WATER
The ten rivers I guide
Upper Oldman River
Intimate upper Oldman water along Highway 40. Wild cutthroat, and bull trout in the deeper pools.
Carbondale River
A freestone river with beautiful pools. Cutthroat, rainbows and a few brown trout.
Castle River
Wadeable Oldman tributary, with a remote West sector and easier East access. Mostly cutthroat. But nice rainbows on the lower section.
Crowsnest River
Fish the Crowsnest River on foot with a local guide and be prepared for action.
Cataract Creek
Narrow, crystal-clear stream with brook trout, cutthroat, bull trout and rainbows.
Racehorse Creek
A small, scenic creek with easy wading and less fishing pressure. Cutthroat on PMDs and nymphs.
Livingstone River
Southern Alberta wilderness water. Cutthroat, and big bull trout in the deeper pools.
Ram River
Clear foothills river by Ram Falls. Westslope cutthroat on dry flies and nymphs.
Highwood River
A Kananaskis gem with deep pools where big trout hide. Cutthroat, bull trout and rainbows.
Upper Bow River
A beautiful stretch near Canmore with big brown trout and rainbows. Challenging, but worth it.
