Fish the Canadian Rocky Mountains

We've just put the finishing touches to a great trout fishing package in the Canadian Rockies.

AAPGAI Master instructor Martyn Armstrong has scouted out the best trout streams and the best guides on both sides of the Continental Divide.

Native Rocky Mountain cutthroat

We've put together our own itinerary that will allow our rods to fish a different trout stream every day for wild browns, rainbows and cutthroats - with plenty of fish over 20 inches and in prime dry fly season, too!

Curtis Lamey and his team of guides will put our team on the best rivers for wade fishing and will float large sections of some of the larger rivers in drift boats - the ultimate way to fish in the Rocky Mountain west.

Typical scenery and mouth-watering fly water

For trout anglers, it really doesn't get much better than this, and the all-inclusive price is great value for such a high quality trip.

Check out our video slideshow on the fishing and read the full trip details.

Kate's salmon from Kjos

Not to be outdone by a team largely made up of AAPGAI instructors, my wife Kate returned with us to Kjos for our annual back-end trip this year and had a lovely salmon on the very first session. 

Lovely fish on the first session from the tributary

The hen of about 9lb came from the small Bugda tributary on a size 16 Green Butt tweaked just below the surface right at the tail of a pool. On a 6-weight single hander, the fight was spectacular.

Not sure who's the more excited, Kate or KJ!

In contrast to the bonanza this team enjoyed last year, fish were much harder to come by as the runs across Iceland this year (with the odd exception such as Midfjardara and Sela) have been disappointing.  But Kate wasn't to give up and landed another one much to the excitement of KJ, our wonderful guide who made the five days fishing an absolute delight. And she lost another fresh fish too.

Waterfall fishing on Beat 1

The team of friends was as much fun as ever and who can fail to enjoy fishing in such fabulous scenery. Beat 1 with its waterfalls was especially spectacular with the good water height.

The team

We'll be back next year for what has become one of the most fun weeks of our year!
