Fish Tales is located just minutes from the world-renowned Bow River. Whether you’re in search of an elusive Bow River brown trout or a feisty rainbow our guides will work hard to give you a day to remember.

The Bow River flows from Bow Lake in Banff National Park and through the beautiful Canadian Rocky Mountains before cutting through the city of Calgary and continuing its journey toward the Canadian Prairies. The lower stretch of the Bow River - the section below the city of Calgary - consists of 55 kilometres of nutrient rich water that’s renowned for the  size and abundance of trophy-sized rainbows and browns.
