Page ix Preface I remember a time, not that long ago, when anglers equated Alberta flyfishing with the Bow River. Americans and other visiting flyrodders would show up in Calgary, fish the heck out of the Bow for a few days, then pack their bags. If a guide suggested that, "Hey, there are a lot of other good rivers here as well, you know," the client would usually hem and haw a bit and make a beeline straight for the airport and the next stop on the itinerary. Well, times have changed. The Bow is still one of the best trout streams in the world, but foreign anglers are discovering what we Albertans have known all alongthis province is a relatively untrammeled flyfishing paradise. There are gurgling spring creeks meandering past weathered barns, and there are boisterous freestone rivers cutting notches in the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains. The variety of water is, quite simply, overwhelming. So is the variety of fish. Rainbows, browns, cutthroats, goldens, Arctic graylingAlberta has them all. If your cravings tend more toward pike, whitefish, or goldeye, there are lots of those around, too. In fact, one thing that's always puzzled me is why Montana is lauded as flyfishing's mecca while Alberta goes relatively unnoticed. A quick glance at any map will show that they abut one another. The forty-ninth parallel separating the United States and Canada is a political contrivance that has nothing whatsoever to do with fishing quality.
