Central Alberta is home to several excellent brown trout streams that we host walk and wade fly fishing trips. Spring creeks and freestone streams 10 to 40 feet wide offer excellent fly fishing for browns in the 10 - 22" range, though each season much larger trout are landed by our guests. Prairie Cr, Stauffer Cr, Dogpound Cr, the Little Red Deer R, Raven R, Fallentimber Cr, and several others provide excellent opportunities for excellent brown trout stream fly fishing. The size of waters, style of fishing, and wariness of brown trout in these streams dictates 1 or 2 anglers per guide. While catch rates may be good, expectations should be tempered to browns in 16 to 22" any given day, with a mix of dries, nymphs, and streamers. Anglers wade upstream, through pastures, spruce, aspen, and pine forests, working riffles, runs, pools, undercut banks, dense log jams, in search of the excellent trout in these waters. Some of our waters have smaller trout with higher numbers, while other waters offer a New Zealand style fishery, one or two good brown trout per run. The variance of our waters in surrounding beauty and size/population distribution makes it possible to enjoy an entire season without fishing the same water twice. We fish waters of light angler density, avoiding other anglers and enjoying solitude. It is very much an intimate feel on the water.
