Reel Women™
By popular demand, we put together a great camp trip on the Bow River in Calgary, Alberta. This is a very special trip for anyone who loves to fish hard all day and then be spoiled in a deluxe camp! Eric Grinnell's Silvertip Outfitters is the oldest guide service on the Bow River still operating under the original owner. Their slogan is "Nobody knows this section of the Bow River like our guides!"
Eric boasts about his guide staff, explaining that they are experienced and mature, and love to fish hard all day. I have not stayed in this camp, but my friends who have say it is first-rate. Meals are everything you would expect from a fancy lodge, except this lodge is on the river. Hot showers and bathroom facilities add to the full accommodations of a first-rate river camp.
Arrival night and the last night before departure will be spent at the Delta Calgary South Hotel. This is a luxury atrium-style hotel with two fly shops within walking distance. I hope you can join me again this season for a great Reel Women Fly Fishing Adventure on the Bow! We all agreed this last trip restored our love for trout fishing!

The end of August is prime time for the Bow, and the best time to catch surface feeding fish. Clients are taken to their private mooring spot on the lower Bow, about 35 minutes from Calgary. Having the boats on the river means they do not go through the time consuming work of trailering each day. They use large comfortable flat bottomed jon boats with pedestal seats, which take two anglers and guide. The boats are equipped with outboard jet motors that allow returning upstream. Fishing is from the boat in normal drift boat fashion, and wade fishing is as circumstances dictate.
