a short drive to the “put in” point, and then the next 5 to 9 hours is
spent drifting the Bow with a professional guide to take you to all of
the best fishing spots.

fishing trip is the way to go. Enjoy a beautiful drive and a short
hike as our guide leads you to one of our local hot spots for 4 to 6
hours of spectacular fly-fishing
The fly-fishing season begins in May and runs through to
October. Dry fly-fishing peaks in July, August, and September, but as
long as there are fish in the river Tightline Adventures will guide you
to them.
