Fairmont Banff Springs

[SilverDoctor]

Am at the Fairmont Banff Springs for three days later this month. Am curious if anyone has fished the bow and adjacent waterways to the hotel lately.

Below the falls on either side used to produce fish when I was a kid, as well as the Spray River 8 to 10 Km's up. And there was a time when every little beaver pond held lots of willing brookies. Not sure of the regs there now a days as its been 30 years since I fished it.

Hi Doc

 

Bow is open all year - through the golf course is pretty good, lots of local pressure keeps it challenging.

 

Water should begin dropping pretty fast so you may be hunting for trenches depending when you come out. Browns are below the falls.

 

Swing by Monods across the road from the Info center (where you'll get you license) - you should be able to get some good tips or suggestions in the there. Beautiful time to be outside enjoying the banks !

Thanks I'll hit hit the shop, hoping to have some sneak away time from the conference.

I think the guys at Monods have packed up the flyshop for the winter so you may not be able to get any info, try Wapiti sports in Canmore.

Well in the end the conformance kept me so busy I was unable to sneak away. The bad thing is I had a view of the river from my room. Pure torture.
