Fly Fishing
 The Bow River Sampler offers
you a taste of some of the best world class fly fishing.
Your package includes for two
people: airport pickup and return, accommodations, based on
double occupancy, at the only full service Lodge on the banks
of the lower Bow River, guided fishing from a Mckenzie-style
drift boat. All your meals and non-alcoholic beverages are
provided from the time you arrive until you leave.
This trip is for anglers of
all skill levels and all equipment can be supplied upon request.
Your itinerary:
Arrival Day: You will be picked up from the airport
(or other pre-arranged location) and transported to a local
fly shop to pick up licenses and any gear you may need before
proceeding to your superior accommodations at North Bow Lodge.
After settling into your room you will be able to unwind after
your travel day on the river view patio, or cast a few from
shore before dinner if time allows.
Day 2: Start your day off with a hearty Canadian
breakfast, your guide will meet you at the lodge usually between
8:30am and 9:30am and you’ll set off for your first day of
adventure on the Bow. Depending on where you put in on the
river you may have a 30-45 minute drive. Upon arrival at the
river entry point you will begin to gear up while your guide
launches the boat and prepares for the day. You will float
and fish until lunch. Your guide will set up lunch while you
relax, perhaps even find yourself catching a nap. After lunch,
it is back onto the river, stopping to net fish and take pictures.
Your arrival back at the North Bow Lodge will normally be
sometime around dark, fishing and weather permitting.
Your hosts, Stuart and Michele await your arrival.
Join your hosts on the patio or by the fireplace and share
some appetizers and beverages while the finishing touches
are prepared to your evening meal. After dinner you are welcome
to enjoy the rest of the evening by taking a walk on the surrounding
property, or if you just haven’t had enough fishing, cast
a line from shore.
Day 3-4-5-6: Same as Day 2, but your guide may suggest
doing a different section of the river or a trip into the
foothills for some walk and wade fishing on some mountain streams.
Depature Day: Unfortunately it is now time to leave
this spectacular river. Memories that will last a lifetime
have been created. It’s recommended you not book too early
of a flight out as the airport is approximately 1 hour from
the lodge. For early morning flights this can make for an
even earlier wake up call. (Example: for a 7am airline departure
you will have to leave the lodge by 430am).
