Walk & Wade

What to Expect

Walk and wade allows you and your group to fish the Bow River as well as some of Alberta's beautiful mountain streams that can not be accessed easily by a boat. Fishing mountain streams can be a fun, full day of catching cutthroat and if you're lucky, the odd bull trout, both of which are native to Alberta. Both species are known to come to the fly a little easier than their neighboring fish from the Bow, which can make for a great day to catch fish.

Reel Experiences

What our clients are saying

  • “Took my wife and I down the Bow River in August and it was an unforgettable, all-day float! Poots was patient with his teaching and we landed four rainbow trout. He knew every fish pocket and could easily navigate the boat while keeping an eye on our lines. We can't wait to go again! Prairie Waters did not disappoint."

    Bryn & Brett P.

  • “I have enjoyed two float trips with Petar. Being a beginner fly fisherman, his instructions and advice were really helpful. And I caught some beautiful fish!"
