About The Mighty Bow River
The section of the Bow River flowing between Calgary and the Carsland weir supports one of the world's greatest trout fisheries. The fishery is a self sustaining population of truly exceptional WILD Rainbow and Brown trout. The fact that this trout river runs directly through the center of a city with a population over one million, amazes most Calgary visitors.
Trout Chasers operates on the "blue ribbon" section of the river which begins as the Bow bids farewell to the City of Calgary. Here our guests are presented with 50 miles of unsurpassed fly fishing. We do our best to ensure that encounters with other boats and anglers are kept to a minimum, enhancing your Bow River experience.
The primary fly fishing season on the Bow occurs from mid April to mid October. Spring run-off from the nearby Rocky Mountains will sometimes temporarily interrupt the fishing around mid June. Be sure to contact us as we will have a better idea of when run-off will occur as the time approaches and can help you plan your trip accordingly.
Over the past few years the Bow has consistently produced trout averaging 16-18 inches. Hooking fish 20 - 24 inches is a common occurrence. Anglers who spend several days on the river with Trout Chasers, have a realistic opportunity to land trout in the 24 - 28 inch range.
