westwalleyeguy Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Hey all, I'm a Newbie to fly fishing, started last year caught some really small ones, but am looking to get a guide to take me walking/wading for a day on the bow preferably either in Calgary or close to. To learn mostly and hopefully catch some bigger fish than the fingerlings. Can anyone give me good references on who is good guides and how far in advance to book and how much to pay?? Much appreciated. Walleyeguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flytyer Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Check with anyone of the local fly shops they all offer guide service and the sponsor the board here as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dube Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 As the legend has it, he's been fishin' the bow since he was a fingerling himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acurrie Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 not from my own personal experience but i would also say Maxwell. I think he knows what the hell he's doing (just search his pic's in the photo post section and you will see). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ÜberFly Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Seeing that your only criteria is "Walk & Wade", then the mang himself - Maxwell P P.S. Max, we'll all take our cut at a later date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 If I was to ask anyone it would be Max as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dharvey Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I'm in the same boat as you. My friend and I booked two trips this summer, one with Dee Chatani @ troutchasers, and one with Jim Mclennan @ mclennanflyfishing both are supposed to be outstanding fly fisherman and great teachers.

bhurt Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Give Fish Tales a call and see who they can set you up with. Don;t know if they do walk and wades but they are a really good bunch of guys..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agbff Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 The only expierience i have with guides on the bow is a walk and wade with Max. Simply put, if your not catching... you will be catching by the end o the day. Yeah you might catch a few fish, but you'll gain knowledge and have a better understanding of the river.
