New To Calgary.. Good Spots?

[tp90]

Hey all, I'm relatively new to Calgary. The fishing scene here anyways. Just wondering where some good local spots are either in Calgary or close to. Just picked up fly fishing last summer and can't wait to get out again once spring arrives. Also where are some good shops here?

Thanks in advanced

Easy just read all the old posts on the forum.

Welcome to Calgary and the board! You'll find a ton of great information here, and as SilverDoctor noted, all you have to do is use the search option.

 

There is a newly udpated waterproof fishing mapbook of the Bow River that came out last year and includes such things as launch locations, fishing spots, walking paths, major roads, hatch chart, recommended flies, flow rates, float times, etc. It is available at many local shops, a number of whom support this forum. They include: Fish Tales, Bow River Troutfitters, the Fishin' Hole, Canadian Tire (Southland/Macleod), West Winds Fly Shop, Wholesale Sports, and Southbow.

Or just wander to the river like the ol' days and figure it out yourself, there is endless water and endless fish. Fish below 17th ave and above carseland, and you'll find fish.

Thanks for all the tips guys. I actually found Tightlines post beneficial

Full disclosure, tightline is the guy that made the map. If you couldn't tell
