Ripple

I am considering making the long trek west to fly fish either the Elk in Fernie or the Bow in Calgary. Timing would be August and I would hire a drift boat guide. Which river would you say offers the most rewarding fishing. Thanks.

Thanks. Am also open to options off the river within a half hour.

I am a senior angler interested in travelling West to fish the blue ribbon Bow with a guide.. While Calgary is a great city, staying there in a hotel does not fit my decription of a getaway retreat for a fishing trip. I would plan to rent a car. Any thoughts on places to stay within a half hour of the blue ribbon launch points would be much appreciated. Thanks.
