Hi Chuck,
If you happen to come to Alberta I'd be happy to take you out fly fishing. I have a drift boat if you want to float the Bow River or if you prefer a mountain stream I can help you out or point you in the right direction. I also have access to a lake with Rainbow trout which some are 10lbs+
I am also from Cape Breton, where about do you live? I grew up on Junction Road by Grand Lake. I was back last September for Atlantic salmon and hope to return again this year. Maybe we could work something out.
In the mean time take a look at my website
www.flyfishingthebow.com . You won't find many specific Alberta locations there but you'll get a general idea.
Cheers.
