Experience the ultimate fly-fishing experience in North America on pristine rivers hidden in the heart of the Rocky Mountains as part of the Royal Fly-Fishing Adventure.
Cool, clear, waters teeming with cutthroat, brown, rainbow and bull trout, await you on this exclusive fishing adventure in the Rocky Mountain wilderness. You'll test your wits and your finest flies as your guide points out the best locations to land a catch on the several rivers you will visit.
At the end of the day, relax in ultimate comfort and watch a golden sunset give way to the velvety darkness of the star speckled sky as you envision the promise of the next day's adventure.
The south regions of Alberta and British Columbia are blessed with some of the finest fly fishing waters in the world. Long considered one of the top fly-fishing rivers in the world, the Bow River flows from the glaciers of Banff National Park and winds its way through the majestic Canadian Rockies. Flowing into the foothills and through the thriving city of Calgary, where it becomes the world famous Blue Ribbon Lower Bow, the river is home to an incredible population of huge Browns and Rainbows that are famous for their affinity for a fly.
There is also the dry fly friendly Crowsnest River, which sits just north of the Alberta-Montana border. Here, wild Rainbows, Cutthroats and Bull trout abound in spectacular Rocky Mountain foothills setting.
Traveling west into the south-east corner of British Columbia the Royal Canadian follows the renowned Elk River with its' native population of Westslope Cutthroat and giant Bull Trout.
On the last leg of the tour the Royal Canadian travels north through the picturesque Columbia Valley and then climbs east through the spectacular Spiral Tunnels. After crossing the continental divide and entering the world famous Banff National Park the Royal Canadian follows the headwaters of the Bow River, known locally as the "Upper Bow". Here your fly-fishing skills will be challenged by big, wily wild browns lurking in the labyrinth of logjams and side channels that are the trademark of this section. This is one of the best pieces of driftboat water in North America and makes for a fitting finish to your fly-fishing tour.
