Aaron Caldwell, a long-time customer, joined team Fish Tales in 2005.
Aaron grew up in Cape Breton. He’s been fly fishing since age 12 and has lived and fished in Nova Scotia, Lake Louise, Whistler, and Southern Ontario. Aaron enjoys fishing the Bow River year round and frequenting mountain streams during the summer months. More recently, excursions to Cayo Coco, Cuba have kindled a love for saltwater angling. Summer 2008 saw Aaron spending his days guiding on the Bow. His easy-going nature and passion for fishing combined with his skills as an oarsman and teacher make him a perfect fit for anglers of all experience levels. Aaron’s an inspired fly-tyer who especially enjoys tying steelhead and Atlantic Salmon patterns. He’s knowledgeable about traditional and synthetic materials and is a wonderful resource for tyers of all skill sets.

David has fished almost since he could walk. He’s spent many hours on the banks of the Bow and has been fortunate enough to travel overseas where he’s fished for New Zealand’s elusive browns, Africa’s predatory tiger fish, Cuba’s eager bonefish, and whatever felt like eating along western Australia’s and Baja’s coasts. Dave’s most recent fishing excursions have been scouring Cuba’s flats for permit and exploring Florida’s coast.
During his college and university days David lived in Lethbridge, Alberta and Missoula, Montana. Both areas are veritable fly fishing havens. He spent four summers guiding fly fishing for pike in Canada’s North. Those summers cemented Dave’s love affair with “toothy critters.” He still loves chasing pike and barracuda with his fly rod.
He has a Bachelor of Science in Wildlife biology. Customers may wonder how a trained biologist came to be a fly shop owner and although there’s no single answer to that question everyone can rest-assured Dave loves what he’s doing. One of Dave’s greatest joys is being able to share his knowledge with customers.

Terry’s spent most of his life as an angler and easily the last 20 years as a fly angler. He loves the sport of fly fishing, but beyond that enjoys sharing his knowledge and experience with others including his four sons.
Terry is head guide for Fish Tales and as such has developed a reputation as one of the hardest working guides on the Bow. He’s often seen hauling the boat back upstream so his client’s can have a second (or even third) chance to fish a run….
When Terry isn’t guiding or in the shop he’s spending time on nearby trout waters or heading out on other fishing adventures. Recently, Terry’s fishing adventures have included trips to Cuba where he fishes for bonefish, ‘cuda, and tarpon. Prior to catching the saltwater bug, Terry made regular trips west where he enjoyed fishing for B.C. steelhead.
