Calgary - the heart of the New West. A stylish, unpretentious city set in the rolling foothills of the majestic Canadian Rocky Mountains; Calgary offers our fly-fishing friends an urban environment that combines warm, western hospitality with a picturesque environment. It is a beautiful, safe, and vibrant city that blends unparalled access to natural recreation. The home of the world famous Calgary Stampede enjoys a bustling economy, dynamic nightlife, remarkable history, and panoramic vistas that span from ranchland to river valley to snow-capped mountain peaks.

All our fly-fishing friends will find a wealth of cultural attractions, exceptional and diverse restaurants and shopping opportunities that range from specialty boutiques to country markets.

Above all, Calgary boasts one of the best trout fishing rivers in the world. On the Bow River, below Calgary, fish that exceed twenty-four-plus inches are expected, not dreamed of. We at Hanson's look forward to you joining us in the "Stampede City" for a memorable fishing experience during the months April through October. To make your fishing vacation trip to Calgary is more enjoyable we can arrange hotels, car rentals, dinner reservations and, of course, big-mean-strong fish.
