- Mid
October brings us to the close of another fantastic
year of fly fishing in the Canadian Rockies.
Although record spring flows kept us off the
rivers early in the season, visiting anglers were
not disappointed when we started guiding in the
third week of July.
Golden Stone and Salmon Flies were prevalent
at the start of the year, with strong Green Drake,
PMD, Flav and Blue Winged Olive hatches keeping
us 'on top' for the remainder of the summer and
fall.
We spent 75-80% of this year
fishing dry flies!

Catch rates remained high again this year, with
many sizable fish taken on both the Elk, it's
tributaries and our neighboring rivers in Southwestern
Alberta.
Our 2003 season should start in early July, with
our Salmon and Golden Stone Flies normally in
abundance at this time.
to review spring flows and river information.
Please don't hesitate to contact
us to discuss your trip on the...
Have a great winter and we hope to see you next
year!
'Tight lines'!
