I too just moved from Southern Ontario Sep 1st. There is amazing trout fishing in Southern Ontario. The Grand River, Maitland, Credit, Humber, Saugeen, many lakes in Algonquin Park and hundreds more. Most rivers attached to the great lakes have trout in them. I have fished many hours in Alberta sine I have got here and it is a tricky area. I also live the NW and the bridge at 16 sucks. The Bow is a great river if you spend time figuring it out. Shoot me a PM and I will help you out with what I have found for spots. I am always willing to go out if you are looking for a partner.

After 70 hours of very little action, only 3 trout. I looked at some topo maps and found what I thought might be a great spot. So I decided to check it out, it was very hard to get to. After falling down a small cliff and braking one of my fly rods, I finally got there. Good thing I always bring back up. So I spent a good 30 min looking under rocks for bugs and clues, to see what they might be eating. I saw a bunch of black beetles, so I matched my fly as close to them as I could. Started to fish and it was like hitting the lottery trout after trout. I fished for 3 hours and lost count of the fish.The Bow river finally gave it up, I see now why people say its a fly fisherman's dream river. Thanks for all the tips and support guy much appreciated.

I'm new to Calgary but not new to fly fishing. I have fly fished all over Canada and have done so for over 15 years. I have spent the last two weeks around 60 hours in the water around and in Calgary, Kananaskis, and Banff, I have had very little luck only 3 trout. Its been one of the worst fishing period in my life. Is there a trick in Alberta, some type of trout secret or is the flood to blame. I was excited to move here for the fishing but so far its been the worst province to fish in, but the most beautiful. I must be doing something wrong. I'm not looking for spots or rivers. Just wondering what's going on in the rivers or am I just having really bad luck. I will keep at it, I will find The Spot of Dreams this province is known for. Thanks.
