Again for 2013 , i'll be doing some  night trips for the big trophy browns as i had some really good trips last year doing all night floats down the bow , stopping at the best holes on the river , and we also will be doing again the 2 day float trip with over-night camping on the Bow River with a guide who will fully take care of you

 The Bow River is a great western size river for spey casting and swinging flies , Richard is now  the Alberta Rep for Bob Meiser Spey Rods , these are wicked light trout spey rods for those who enjoy streamer fishing  , swinging , what better way to feel the tug then from a big 20' inch  plus brown or rainbow
