| Alberta |
| Brown and Rainbow Trout |
| Alberta and the magnificent Rockies need little introduction. Our holidays have been
put together with the fisherman in mind, but knowing that anyone visiting this part of the
world will naturally want to combine fishing with touring the Rockies. |
|
 |
| FISHING IN ALBERTA |
| We offer fishing in the following areas: |
| Bow River, Banff National Park, Jasper National Park, Crowsnest
Pass |
| GUIDING |
| Go Fishing Worldwide has the most experienced guides for fishing the Bow River in Calgary
and Banff, as well as rivers and lakes in the Jasper area and Crowsnest Pass. Many
people fish in the Rockies, and it is important to have a guide so that you do not waste
fishing time. |
|
|
| BOW RIVER |
  Bow
River flows from Banff National Park's Bow Lake through the mountains and widens into the
large, fertile stream on the prairie. What sets it apart from other rivers is the large
size of wild brown and rainbow trout. Heavy caddis and mayfly hatches allow for
spectacular dry fly fishing. A variety of birds and wildlife make an exciting trip for
non-fishing partners. 16ft Lavro McKenzie drift boats designed for fly fishing are used and
there is some fishing from the boat, but wading is the norm. |

| BANFF NATIONAL PARK |
  |
| Banff National Park attracts more than three million visitors a year. Many of its
peaks tower over 9,800 feet, forming a magnificent backdrop to turquoise lakes. Lake
Louise, at the foot of glacier-clad Mount Victoria, is one of the park's most beautiful
spots. The town of Banff offers a wide variety of activities and restaurants, while Lake
Louise is quieter. Fishing can include dry fly fishing on the upper Bow River, hiking to
high mountain lakes and streams, and trolling or spinning for trophy trout on Lake Minnewanka. |

 Tecumseh
Mountain Guest Ranch is located in the Rocky Mountains about 5 minutes from the Crowsnest
River. Some of the finest trout fishing in Alberta is to be found here. You can
fish the Crowsnest, the Castle, the Oldman and the Elk, or explore small, willow-choked creeks
in search of cutthroat or brook trout. If you prefer, you can take a float tube on a
pothole lake for feisty rainbows or cast to spooky trout cruising in the shallows of a remote
mountain lake. The choice is yours! Accommodation is in comfortable log cabins
each with bedroom, living room, private bathroom, shower and kitchenette with lovely views
across the valley. The main building houses the restaurant and dining room. |
