The question is often asked:
When is the best time?
The Red Deer River has good
fly fishing from opening week
(mid May) through
late October. Every day has something to offer and you will cast to 20 - 26" trout rising in lie. Some
days we fish streamers, many days we are blessed with good hatches and
rising trout. Runoff is held back by the Dickson Dam until about June 5 -
7 each year and the highest runoff ebbs by the 25. We don't take
bookings for out of province guests until June 25, which is usually the
start of good fishing. The timing is what is best
for you!

Trip Details
Our goal on every float trip is
to allow you to have a safe & wonderful fly fishing experience,
enjoying the scenery, the company, and the great trout of the Red Deer
River. There are
many different reaches to float on the Red Deer River and the duration
of each trip is between 6-14 hours. Length is strictly up to you but we
must know your preference to set a pace to the day you enjoy. Length can also be impacted by hatches -
if we run into a carpet hatch with 24" brown trout on the rise,
we'll be parked until the event is over and we have a nice photo series
of your moment. |

All of our
trips include instruction and technique assistance. Our waters are
different from your home waters and we'll help you adjust to what needs
be done. Basic fly fishing instruction is also provided to ensure
everyone has an opportunity to catch fish. All trips
include a healthy, hearty lunch. This typically includes salads; fresh,
clean cut meats, juices, snacks, and more. Each day we
will either meet you at your accommodation (if you are in Red Deer) or at a prearranged location
if you stay elsewhere.
We will return to that location at day's end. We prefer that you bring your own gear,
and a gear & equipment list will be emailed to you upon
booking your trip with us.
Location Map
The Red Deer
River flows out of Banff National Park, then north east to the city of
Red Deer. Once through Red Deer, the river sharply turns to the south,
on its way to its confluence with the South Saskatchewan River in
western Saskatchewan. Travel to fish
the Red Deer River is easiest to the Calgary International Airport.
Direct flights are available to Calgary as it is essentially the driving
force of the Canadian economy with many headquarters in the oil & gas /
energy sector. |
