[Rainbowhunter]

Hello all,

 

I would just like to mention that the last couple days have been great!, due to a great teacher/guide , Richard Mason(Dutchie). He owns and opperates BowRiverAdventures. He is the cheapest guide in Calagry therfor probably Alberta. For two people to fish any of the the following waters(Bow,Crowsnest, Oldman,Livingstone and mountian streams and lakes) it is 300 for a full day of whatever you want. For two people it is 350. He provides all transportation and food. If anybody is looking for a very talented guide to learn from or just going for a float with HE IS YOUR GUIDE!!!!

Here is the little stroy of those couple of days he took me out.

 

First day i went out wiht him we headed to the bow river and we floated from policmans to makinnons. At first when we got o the boat he showed me how to set up my rig. He taught me !!! After we got setup and he showed me the right flies this time of year and why we satred to flaot down the river and he took us to all the best spots and showed me the how to fish off aa boat. Just after about twnety minutes of floating the other guy we were with hooked into a nice rianbow. Just after hooking into that fish we stopped at an island. and he took me out and described the water to me and where the fish would be laying. After that showed me hwo to fish. Just after he left me and went to get hsi rod i hooked into this decent rainbow. I just found it so amazing how this only being my second year of fly fishing that Richard could get me into this good of fish. We got back into the boat and procceded down the river. Just as we got afloat agian Richard recomended that i cast into this certain spot, just as i did three or four seconds after the line hit the water WAMO!!! the strike inidcator went down and i set the hook just like he taguth me before, i had hooked into my first big rianbow with a nymph set up. He immediatyl told me how to fight the fish and before i knew it we had him in the net. We carried on our journy further and further down the river hooking into many fish. If you dont know how yo nymph, dry fly, streamer or any other type of fishing contact him and you will learn it very soon. We began to float down and got to a slow spot. He mentioned that meny times before he hooked into fish in this area and just after he said that the strike inidcator went down. I had a big fish on my line. He faught, ran into the middle of the river and jumped every second until he was into the net. This was an amazing moment. I had hooked my biggest rianbow trout EVER!!!. He was measured at 24 inches. We carried ont he rest fo the day fishing and enjoying the beautiful scenery.

 

The next day he took me out to the oldman river. The first place we arrived to we started fishing and within ywenty minutes of fishing brian(one of his other guides) hooked into a pig of a bull trout. Measured in at twenty nine inches!!!!!!! When we got him into the net we noticed that he had a huge cutthroat trout in his mouth. The rest of the day between the four of us we hooked into probly 50 to 60 fish. It was one of the best two days if not the best two days of my fishing career . Just great guide and a great teacher to have. And you dont pay alot for him..

I've had the opportunity to met Dutchie in a fly shop..we talked for quite some time, sharing a few tips..then to my surprise, he turned out to be one of the top guides that run the Bow. I never knew that, until I was told..this man never gave me the impression he was over knowledgeable.. and that in it's self proved to me, he was what I was later told............One of the top guides of the Bow River.
