Excellent day! Breathtaking scenery! Caught some lovely fish. Our guide was informative and entertaining! We will definitely be back. Thanks Anders and Scotty! Another bucket list item down..
We had a great time fishing with Scottie. We caught a number of nice lake trout despite our family’s conspicuous lack of any fishing skills. Scottie was friendly and encouraging, a great morning on the water. The boat was new and well equipped. The enclosed cabin was a treat early in the morning before the weather started to warm up. Would definitely recommend.
My son and father really enjoyed their afternoon with Scotty! They loved his knowledge and stories of the lake. Though they only caught one fish each— it was a top memory!
Booked a trip with Banff Fishing and it was beyond spectacular. Stef was our guide and was so good to make sure we caught fish! Would definitely recommend these guys for a fun day of fishing. The golden eagle was a bonus and the loon.
Stefan was an exceptional tour guide! He went above and beyond to ensure that our three girls had an unforgettable fishing experience. His enthusiasm and expertise made the outing truly fun. We felt well taken care of and had a blast learning the ropes of fishing from him. Highly recommend Stefan for a memorable adventure!.
