The weather continues to be mild with reasonable snow pack,so the Crow is perfect for winter stream fishing. Few anglers out ..small black stones on top or nymphing ,levels low and clear. The 2016 Hardy line up is available at the shop..excellent prices! Any more info? please give us a call  Wed-Sun 8-5 thanks, Susan

Thanks to all for another great summer. Florian joined us as a guide and did a great job.  Fishing continues to be well worth putting up with the lower temps , and occasional winds. New 2016 Hardy products arriving soon in the shop, and some warm and cool Patagonia gear is in place. Shop is open Wed - Sun from 8-5.

Rivers in great shape..low , clean and clear. BWO's , Caddis and PMD's the fav's right now. We are very happy about the new Castle Wilderness and Provincial park..many have worked for many years to see this happen in such a delicate and beautiful area. . Big sunny sky's ..perfect .

Crazy weather, crazy times. But the hatches and trout behaviour are as consistent as ever. We,ve had snow in the higher elevations, causing a bit of colour to the Oldman streams and mid crow sections. P.M.D's still a factor as B.W.O.'s are coming on strong with Caddis a close second. Very exciting news for the Castle area . A large designated Wilderness area with a Provincial park locked in encompassing the Lynxx , Carbondale and the upper tribs of the Castle. looks like excellent fishing ahead..sunshine , cooler temps in the streams and more open waters...all the best Susan crowsnestcafeandflyshop.ca

Well that was a busy August! High temperatures, low clear water...closures. We were fortunate to have the mountain tribs pushing cold water into the main streams; and fortunate that so many fishermen shared our concern for the trout habitat. All rivers in our neighbourhood are open, except for the St Mary's. This has already been an incredible summer on the Oldman, Livingstone, Castle, Lynxx and Crowsnest. Full on hatches beginning with Skwalla's  , Golden stones and smaller black stones. PMD's into the mix early, Green Drakes in early June, and still showing their wares! BVWOs are showing up more often now and fat Caddis too. It's looking like a wonderful fall season, best to everyone and I hope you've had a chance to visit, Susan   crowsnestcafeandflyshop.ca
