Fly fishing in Banff on the Bow River during Winter? You Bet!! Around Banff some of the biggest hawgs of the year are fished up on the Bow River as the fish are schooled in the deeper runs and holes during the lower winter water conditions, The weather must cooperate and be on the warmer side which does happen during our frequent winter chinooks.
Sometimes we ice fish in the morning and then angle the rest of the day away on the Bow in the warm afternoon sunshine, Fly fishing too! If you are skilled with the clauser minnow fly and a sink-tip line and or one of my 12 foot+ Spey rods than say hello to some big trout. Spin fishing is excellent throughout the winter as well.
We guide fishing adventures along the Bow River year round.
