Welcome to Bow River Hookers! Southern Alberta's premier fishing outfitter and guide service
Based out of Calgary Alberta, Bow River Hookers provides guided fly fishing trips on the Bow River. Our primary focus is directed specifically toward the world famous Bow River, the "Blue Ribbon Bow", and the trophy Rainbow and Brown Trout that inhabit this tremendous fishery. Our float trips on the Bow River are second to none with many amenities that are unique to Bow River Hookers.
Every one of our guides knows the Bow River intimately; the buckets, runs, holes, flats, shelves, side channels and backwaters. If you expect to be successful on the Bow River, you need a guide who knows every inch of her waters, current insect and hatch activity, the present fish menu and the trout. A guide service committed to your comfort and enjoyment, Bow River Hookers is the Bow River guide service equipped to provide you with that kind of expertise.
