Friends, Fun Times and Fishing The Bow River June 9th, 2025

By Mike Robertson in Bow River Fishing Trips

This season I can fish mid-week, so my dear friend Rob Clarke from Edmonton decided to come down to Calgary and join me for a full day trip on the Bow River this past Monday. Rob arrived Sunday evening which gave us time to catch up and have a mean steak dinner at my place.

After chatting and filling our bellies, we headed to bed early and arose at 5am to birds chirping and blue skies. After making coffee, and loading the truck with gear, we headed down to McKinnon Flats and launched the G3 jet boat at 6 AM.

I decided to document our trip and make a video for YouTube. I like looking back on video footage in the dead of winter when its too cold to fish.

Thanks for reading and watching.

Enjoy,

~Mike

One Last Fishing Trip !

By Mike Robertson in Making A Difference

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,
