BEGINNER FLY FISHING PACKAGE
The easiest and most enjoyable way to start fly fishing.
Casting lesson + 5-hour guided float • Private boat (1–2 anglers)
No experience needed
Start the day with a hands-on casting session where you’ll learn the fundamentals — how to hold the rod, deliver an effective cast, control your drift, and understand the techniques that set you up for success.
Once you’re comfortable, we load up the boat and head onto the Bow River for a guided float where you’ll put everything into action.
Your guide handles the setup, fly selection, and positioning so you can focus on learning, fishing, and enjoying the day.
WHY THIS TRIP IS PERFECT FOR BEGINNERS
No guesswork. No pressure. No experience required.
You’ll learn at your own pace, ask as many questions as you like, and fish in a relaxed, supportive environment.
Our goal by the end of the day is simple:
To have you confident and ready to go out and fish successfully on your own.
Spend a full day drifting the Bow River targeting wild trout with a trip tailored entirely to how you want to fish — dry flies, nymphs, streamers, or a mix of everything.
