BANFF FISHING GUIDES

Welcome to fly fishing the beautiful Bow River downstream of Banff Alberta Canada with your professional guide Big Jim Dykstra.

We walk and wade the challenging Bow River casting towards some fine trout. Mostly browns but some brook trout, cutthroat, whitefish, rainbows and the odd rogue bull trout. Average sizes are in the 10-15 inch range with some enormous monsters over 20+ inches lurking in the deeper holes, riffles and boulder runs. It’s a freestone blue ribbon river with calm wading and good access. Spin fishing and ice fishing too! We have flexible start times to suit your itinerary and would be happy to guide your fishing party on an exhilarating fishing adventure on the wild blue waters of the Bow River and surrounding lakes and streams.

SPIN FISH THE BOW RIVER

Do you prefer to spin fish?? Let’s cast some lures out into the depths at those huge handsome trout. Kamloopers, Rapalas, Panther Martins, Mepps, Blue Fox, Plastics and Len Thompsons zing out of the company’s fine selection of ultralight G. Loomis spin rods. We also have a selection of more powerful rods for casting heavier lures at the far bank as well as a couple of 11 foot Raven bottom bouncing rods.

Brown trout, cutthroat, rainbows, whitefish and bull trout inhabit the Bow River and we have even caught a few big lake trout out of the deeper whirlpool holes. Let’s try our luck at some of the biggest fish the Bow River has to offer with the company’s choice arsenal of excellent spinning rods.

Spin fishing the Bow River in spring and fall often net some of the largest trout of the year.
