Flyfishers call the trout laden waters of Southern Alberta the “Montana of the North”. These “tailwater” rivers are fertile with abundant aquatic insects which makes an astounding fishery from June to mid-September. Because of limited access to the best trout fishing waters, it is unlikely you’ll see another angler during your daily outing. The following are some of the rivers the guides will be selecting,  the Old Man, Crow’s Nest, Belly, Waterton and the St. Mary’s to name a few.  Most flyfishers who recently fished the Southern Alberta waters will tell you, “this is what Montana use to fish like 20 years ago” A must for all trout flyfishers!

Fishabout and Outfitter, Cam Jensen of McGrath, Alberta, offer the best selected weeks each season. Each of the weeks are 5 days of expertly guided fishing, limited to 6 anglers, using convenient and comfortable inns for accommodations and meals. Daily fishing is guided by wade-walking or floating selected rivers.

These tailwaters are prime dryfly fishing, with “Hopper Mania” being the most popular, starting in mid July and lasting through September.
