Fishing Event SOLD OUT
The Section of the Bow River flowing between Calgary and the Carsland Weir supports one of the World’s Greatest Trout Fisheries. The fishery is a self sustaining population of truly exceptional WILD Rainbow and Brown trout. The fact that this trout river runs directly through the center of a city with a population over one million, amazes most Calgary visitors.
The fishing trip includes breakfast, lunch, transportation to and from the hotel, and fishing equipment.
