Welshmike Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Hi All My name is Mike and as is clear from my User name am from Wales ( currently living in Thailand ) I am a trout fishing addict having had trips this year to Chile Patagonia, New Zealand ( done about 10 times ) Tasmania and most recently Montana. Will be coming to Southern Alberta , for 3 weeks arriving mid July and will base myself in Calgary. Two reasons for posting. Firstly obviously I seek as much advice on the Fly fishing in that area, but also to assist any other members who may be going to any of the areas I mentioned where I could hand over maps, books and usual booklets picked up along the way. Also I should add Uk and Ireland both of which I have fished extensively. I know how difficult, and expensive it is to get info, thus my offer. Got the Jim MClennan book, it was how I got the forum site. Cannot wait for July Tight lines Welshmike Quote
murray Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Welcome to the forum Mike. July is the perfect time to visit our area. All of the Mountain streams are open for fishing by then as well as the Bow river that runs right through the middle of our city. When you get closer to your trip, contact me and perhaps I can show you some nice water. Murray. Quote
murray Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Just a sample of what kind of fish are out there. 3 Quote

adams Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 Hi WelshMike, We've been having some problems with invasive species (whirling disease etc.) so just a friendly reminder to thoroughly dis-infect your gear before coming over and then again when you leave (you don't want to bring anything back home either). Have fun and enjoy. Adams 2 Quote

Have fun and enjoy. Adams Hi Mate Go to NZ 3 times a year so very aware of the need for cleaning your gear. Dydimo is ruining some of the finest rivers in NZ. Problem is that we do that but the boats go from waterway to waterway, and of course waterfowl carry it around with them. However that is no reason for us to be lax. Thanks Mate Mike Quote

northfork Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 If you feel like making your way up to the central part of the province I would be glad to take you for a few days as well. Quote
