"Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, overcivilized people are beginning
to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity..."
John Muir penned those words over 100 years ago, but they ring more true today than ever. At
BowCrow, we're in the business of helping tired and "overcivilized people" be refreshed in the rivers and streams flowing
east from the Canadian Rocky Mountains, and encounter more than a few of the local piscatorial residents along the way! We'd
love to introduce you to some wild trout in wild places this season.
2008 was another fantastic season in the Alberta Rockes and
foothills streams! Our busiest season ever resulted in days full of excellent wild cutthroat, rainbow, brown trout, and bull
trout fishing...including cracking the 20in mark on the Crowsnest, browns to 29in on the Bow, cutts to 20in in the mountains,
and some epic bull trout in excess of 30in.
If you are planning an Alberta fly fishing adventure of your
own this year, we still have several openings scattered throughout the season...please contact us as soon as possible to see
if we can accommodate your trip, as 2009 season dates will fill rapidly. We are also actively booking trips for the 2010 season.
Note that we are now offering full- and half-day float trips and walk-and-wade
trips on the Bow River in addition to our acclaimed lineup of all-inclusive packages and day trips to other exceptional SW
Alberta waters.
