Komp Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Maybe not the right section for this but we are buying my father-in-law a full day Bow River float for his 60th birthday. He's fly fished before but will definitely have some rod rust. Imagine most the guides are excellent, just looking for someone to give him a fun and memorable experience. Appreciate the feedback.

bcubed Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Lots of good guides out there, but doubt you can find a friendlier one (or more knowledgeable) then Kevin Peterson out of CPs. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpinkster Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Lots of good guides out there, but doubt you can find a friendlier one (or more knowledgeable) then Kevin Peterson out of CPs. This x1000. Kevin will get you into fish and keep you laughing the entire day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningChrome Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 +1 for KP. I'd also add Aaron Caldwell to the list. Oh, and Dee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monger Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Dee Chatani from Trout Chasers and Iron Bow has been around since the '80s. Lots of skill and experience to offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrinhurst Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I would highly recommend Maxwell Robinson of Bowcrow Outfitters. He's a chill guy, and one hell of a guide. I have floated with him numerous times, and have never had issues having fun and getting into fish. http://bowcrow.tripod.com/flyfishing/id11.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaa Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Some great guides on the the Bow, and all are hard working top notch folks to spend a day with too. Kevin Peterson CP (as others have said, you will be laughing, and learning) Dee Chatani Iron Bow (Dee is an awesome guide, knows every inch of that river) Terry from Fish Tales (See above as per Dee, Terry is fantastic) Josh Nugent Out Fly (another fish whisperer) Paula Shearer (our boat mirrored hers occasionally on a float last late September, every time we looked over it seemed rods were bent in her boat. At the pull out at Mckinnons her clients told us they truly had an amazing day) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
