September 4th. 2010 on the Bow, Jeff and I hit the Bow River for quick day of fly fishing just outside Calgary yesterday.We hooked lots of fish in the short time we had! Here's Jeff with a lovely Rainbow he caught on a perfect cast to the smallest hole along this bank! Nice job Jeff! <*{((>< 
September 5th. 2010 on the Bow, The Bow has continued to fish extremely well as it did all summer! We've been averaging over 45 fish on everyday!! In the last 10 days we've had several single clients with over 50 fish on and one Gent just shy of 60! We've been seeing more and more Browns hooked lately as they prepare to make their way upstream! Here's a beautiful 24"Brown from last week! A trout of a lifetime awaits you just 15 minutes southeast of Calgary Folks! Get out soon! <*{((>< 
August 24th. 2010 on the Lake, We had a small corporate group out a couple of days ago.These fine folks wanted to learn to fly cast and do some fishing.Here's Mavis and I with a monster 28" 10+ pound Rainbow!!!! Great first fish on a fly Mavis! <*{((><

testimonials
I have been fortunate to have fished for trout and salmon all over the world and the best sustained action has been provided by big rainbows and browns on the Bow River. My fishing pals and I are forever grateful to super guides Doug Massig and Curtis Lawrence for putting us over those beautiful fish - David Hilliard, New York

email money transfers
To pay using an Interac email money transfer, log into your bank account online and follow the steps as outlined by your bank. An example of what to do is listed below. All major financial institutions provide Interac email money transfers through a subsidiary company of Interac called CertaPay.
1. Go to the area within your account that says payments and transfers.
2. Your bank will prompt you for the amount. Enter the amount you want to pay based on the chart describing the type and duration of your trip from the rates page. The cost to send an Interac email money transfer is usually $1.50. Subtract this from the amount you are paying as Bow River Fly Fishing Adventures will pay this amount.
3. Your bank will ask you for the email account of the person you want to make a payment to. Enter payment@bowriverflyfishing.com
4. You will be prompted for a security question. Enter the date of your fly fishing trip without the year. E.g. August 4
5. CertaPay will email Bow River Fly Fishing Adventures on behalf of your bank. When the money has changed hands, you will receive a confirmation email that the payment has been made. All payments are completely secure and encrypted transactions through Interac. If you have any questions call us at 1-(403)-470-FISH.
