Drift Boat Fishing Charters on the Bow River
Welcome to Hooked Fly Fishing Charters, offering guided drift boat tours on the Bow River in and around Calgary, Alberta. Come and enjoy a day with us fishing from the comfort of our 16 foot guide boat on the famed Bow River, known as a blue ribbon fishery.
We’ll be targeting the infamous ‘Silver Bullet’ Rainbow Trout and feisty Brown Trout. Named for their renowned fighting and aerial acrobatics, Bow River Rainbow Trout have earned the nickname of Silver Bullets. Not to be outdone, resident Brown Trout aggressively take streamers, nymphs, and dries and give you a fight to remember. These wild fish on the Bow River average 18-22”, definitely worth a photo!
