Customer Appreciation Float Trip On The Bow River
My good friend Dean informed me that he was having a customer appreciation day at his work place and I was invited. I am not a customer but he let me know they were raffling prizes away and the grand prize was a float trip to fish the Bow River with yours truly. What a fantastic idea I thought to myself, someone wins a trip to do something they may have never done before. To experience the majestic Bow River and catch some trout along the way is a great deal for anyone. George was the grand prize winner and he contacted me last weekend to set up a date for his float trip. I had this weekend open and we made the date for Saturday morning at six thirty am.
The forecast for the day was hot with a high of 25 degrees Celsius and large trout to be caught all day long. Perfect, works for me! We met up and headed of to the starting point of our trip, MacKinnon Flats. We released the tie downs and the boat was wet again. I rowed is into the middle of the river and we launched the first lure into the river. Not long after we launched, say five minutes after George was into a feisty rainbow trout. This was just the start of the rainbow action. George was hammering the rainbows all day long with my favorite crank bait, the Rapala.
I thought to myself along the trip, what a great idea it was to do an appreciation float trip for your clients. If you have a company and wish to take care of your clients, then treat them to a fishing trip down the Bow River. You keep your highly regarded clients happy and you get to write the trip off on your taxes. That’s what I call a win-win. There are some openings for the last week of August and September is pretty much wide open so do yourself and your customers a favor and treat them to a guided fishing trip to float and fish the Bow River. I know they will love that and possibly become customers for life!
Thanks so much to Dean F, CEO of Nextcom/Airtell Communications, Merle I, President of Nextcom/Airtell Communications for using me and my services to take care of their clients. I know George and his daughter McKenzie will never forget their fishing trip along the Bow River.

the customer looks really amazed and surprised the trip seems to have left him in complete awe
Yes he and his daughter had a great day. This trout he is holding he thought he had a snag. I looked up and saw his rod bouncing up and down and I knew it was a large trout and not a snag. He got the fish to the boat and was kind of amazed he had a monster on board the boat.
He was very happy with the trip!
Thanks for the comment,
