Looking to do a float trip. Anyone have guide recommendations for this area?
Flows look high and access looks dodgy due to flooding.
Any insight on this or other advice would be appreciated.
Muchas gracias.

Thanks fellas. Upon the recommendation of a friend, we ended up hiring Quinn Styles from Country Pleasures in Calgary.

Excellent guide and really solid dude. We fished the Bow in Calgary and had a blast.
Because of the flooding it seems everyone (humans and fish) are figuring out the new river. We chucked attractors most of the day and managed to bring a few fish to the boat. While we didn't slay it, the fish we did hook into were indeed meaty, including a 22" Browntown.
