One Last Fishing Trip !

Was a huge honor and pleasure to help Bill Hart with his last wish to fish the Bow River before he leaves us. Big thanks to Prominence Way Retirement Community for reaching out and asking if I could accommodate this adventure.

I have donated my time before helping others, but this one was touching in many ways.

I am both humbled and blessed to be a part of this trip.

Thank you,

The First Trip on the Bow River, 2025

Was nice to be back on the boat for the first trip with my good friend Johnny. A friendly fishing trip with great laughs on a perfect sunny day !!

Watch as we get some sweet Bow River trout on the G3 jet boat, March 6th 2025. Looking forward to many more personal fishing days this season.

We are using Robertson Tackle lures for all fish caught. You can get your lures at www.robertsontackle.com

Thanks for watching !

The Late February Thaw

Finally, the weather has turned here In Calgary, and I was able to get back out fishing on the Bow River this week. I fished Monday and Tuesday with only one fish landed, it was tough sledding to say the least. The dirty water from the city stained the river up, so I would surmise that was the reason for the slow bite.

I’m not one to throw the towel in easy, so I returned Wednesday and had much better results. As many of you know, I have my own brand of lures that work super well. I chose the Sunrise Samurai in black and caught all my fish on that color pattern. It has a hard, loud rattle with a large minnow profile that gets the best fish to commit.

The wind was low coupled with the bite being good, despite the river still a little stained out. I was fishing solo and landed six rainbows and one brown trout. It was another great day sport fishing the Bow River.

My boat will be going into the shop for its annual spring maintenance next week. I will have her ready to go for guided fishing trips mid-March. If you are in the market for a guided trip, please reach out and we will get you booked in.

Thank you,

~Mike
