What our clients are saying

I first fished with Clearwater Adventures about 4 years ago. When I recently had the opportunity to return to Calgary, I had no hesitation in rebooking with them because of their outstanding, friendly, and efficient service. The owner, Kim Straker, is extremely knowledgeable and just a pleasant guy to fish with, whether it is a float trip on the Bow River or a wading trip in one of the many smaller rivers in the mountains....

Hey Kim. Thanks for a great time fishing on the Bow and down in Crowsnest. I've enjoyed many guides in some beautiful places but fishing with you in Calgary is at the top of my list.

To top that off, your photo's and video captured the fish, the setting and the adventure....

I have been fishing off and on with Kim over the past ten years. The first year he helped my wife, re-introducing her to the fine art of fly fishing, on the streams that are the Oldman and its watershed. We slayed the fish that year, and many years since. However, there are other things about being in the great outdoors that make up the entire experience. Kim as a person is the kind of person you just naturally want to hang out with....

WALK and WADE

Walk & Wade

The spectacular rivers and streams along the east slope of Alberta's Rocky Mountains are a dry fly fisher's paradise. These cool, crystal clear waters are teaming with eager cutthroat trout and are home to increasing numbers of large, aggressive bull trout. Rainbow trout also inhabit many of these waters while brook trout may be found in a few waters...
