  1. The land is run by the Philips and it is called Bow River Resort . the phone number was 403 901-2153 . Hope this helps
  2. Never a good feeling losing fly gear or having it stolen. I got cleaned out one fine day back mid nineties on the Crow by some shitty person. Anyhow not trying to prey on your misfortune but the islander is a reel plus a spool. I'll help you out as best I can on that one. Dave
  3. I think I'm going to be sick for you. Thats going to be a while to get over that one. Sorry Brian. When you calm down I probably have a Islander trout series plus spool I'll bargain on with you. Dave
  4. Jay, 20 lbs is not heavy enough, a large weed matt in the fall would easily drag that anchor. Mike
  5. Take a look at the Commander Boat / Kayak from Outcast. Or the original Water Otter pontoon .It weighs 18 lbs inflated.
  6. when do we start? I like that one to.
  7. Just a reminder that the shop is now open on Mondays ( spring / summer / fall ) Winter closed on Mondays. Our hours are from Monday thru Friday 8 am till 6 pm. Saturday 8 am till 5 pm Sunday 8 am till 4 pm Thanks
  8. With all the good rods, reels and lines out there , it can get a little confusing on what to purchase. Join us April 28 , 11 am to 4 pm and cast some excellent quality rods, lines and reels from Snowbee / Beulah . What ever you fancy, Singlehand, Spey or Switch. Meet Courtney Ogilvie from Nile Creek Flyshop on Vancouver Island, he is a excellent teacher, caster, awesome fly tyer and his love for Steelhead speaks for itself. Just a fun guy to hang out with. Courtney will bring along one of his Prostaffers with Snowbee, Colin Dunn who will help with casting, your Questions. Colin is a exceptional teacher and is very approachable,and has a ton of knowledge about Southern Alberta waters . Also a very good flytyer and rodbuilder. These two rod companys are making a huge statement in Europe and USA markets. Come cast a few, you will be surprised . The Snowbee flylines are maybe the best lines on the Market, they design, others follow. Come cast some Beulah Switch rods and see what the Calgary market is missing . Their flylines are matched to their rods, no other manufacture offers this. There will be a door prize for the most accurate cast, best out of 5 casts. So were looking for a few hotshots. Also enjoy a hamburger/ hotdog. Sorry no Cake . On Sunday the 29th you can also join Courtney and learn some fishing tips ,on river fishing. 12 pm till 3 on the Bow. You must sign up for this the cost is $70.00 ea
  9. Mr. ArtVandelay The ones you need are PeeWee pops made by Rainy's, Then you cut and fit over Marabou and shank of hook. Bottoms Up. Mike

  11. Jake Gotta {aka Dekkard} will be at SouthBow this sat am 10:30 till noon. Should be a good one packed with a ton of info, great for all levels of fly fishers. Dekkard will cover different techniques from deep water nymphing, times of the year & conditions, small stream nymphing, a few options for rig set ups, how to identify good water and of course the bugs . You will find out that there are allot more options to nyphing than you might think. Bring your gear it's supposed to be decent weather so go for a fish after the seminar. Thanks, Dave & Mike.
