East Village Fly Fishing Lessons

Have you ever thought about trying fly fishing on the Bow River? Maybe you thought it looked too difficult to learn or that you wouldn't know where to start. Drift Out West Fly Fishing is collaborating with East Village to offer a "Learn to Fly Fish" program! Learn a few basic flyfishing knots, what type of rod and reel to use, how to cast, which flies to use, and a little bit about bugs. This program is for anyone interested in learning to fly fish from 14 years of age and up. Participants need to be comfortable walking along the banks and wading in the Bow River. Lessons are very interactive, with a maximum of 6 participants for the scheduled lesson dates.

Drift Out West Fly Fishing: Guided Fly Fishing Trips

Peter A, AB

I have had the distinct pleasure of fly fishing the Bow River with Quinn the past 3 seasons. He is a superb fly fisher, powerful rower and provides helpful friendly guidance about hatches, patterns, casting and landing big browns and rainbows. I can’t wait to get back on the Bow with Quinn later this year.

John H, SK

I have had the pleasure of Quinn’s guiding skill and experience for many years. He is a knowledgeable and personable guide who knows what it takes to make a day rewarding and enjoyable. This past August he put me on my biggest brown to date. Can’t wait for next year, Quinn!

David R, UK

My Canadian fishing friend, Bobby, and I look for Quinn as our first choice guide for our Bow River floats. He is a true fly fishing enthusiast and seems to enjoy his floats as much as his clients! Top that with genuine friendship and hot home-made stew, enjoyed sitting on the banks of the river; he can’t be beat. See you next year, Quinn!
