Thank WG. I rented a boat in Craig 3 years ago. Lots of fun. I have 2 buds coming from out of town that want to drift the Bow with me. Unfortunately, my 2 person Outcast pontoon can only fit one of them. I was hoping a vendor in the city rents drift boats. I guess not.

Is there a vendor in Calgary that rents drift boats?

Good points, especially, about casting against the wind. Even though I rarely cast when the wind has picked up it's good to have that extra backbone. Thanks.

Thanks!

Hello, I'm a Winston rod fan and I own a couple of discontinued BIIMX series spey rods. I use the 11.5' 430-450 grain, the smallest spey rod in this series, to swing buggers and nymph/worm rigs alongside the banks of the Bow. However, I feel this rod is too much for this river, well, maybe. I'm thinking of buying the Micro Spey as my dedicated Bow spey rod for the type of fishing I describe. Anyone own the the Winston Micro Spey and willing to throw their opinion on here? Thanks.

Thank you all. I will give spey casting on a drift boat a try after the Bow gets back to normal in July.

Anyone have experience spey casting a streamer or hopper/dropper rig from a drift boat? Do you find you have to make adjustments to your line management because of the the tight space in a drift boat? I'm thinking of buying a Winston TH-Microspey soon mainly for swinging streamers along the banks and from a boat. Thanks.
