OUR STORY
Raised in the Canadian Rockies, fly fishing has always been more than a hobby—it has been a way of life. Countless days spent exploring the Bow River, learning its rhythms, and chasing wild trout fostered a deep connection to the water and the landscapes that make this place so extraordinary. What began as a personal passion naturally grew into a desire to share these experiences with others.
​
Today, Rising Rainbows is built on that same passion. Whether guiding guests to wild trout, teaching someone their very first cast, or floating quietly through the valley, every experience is rooted in respect for the river, a love of the outdoors, and the belief that the best days are those spent on the water.
THE SPIRIT OF THE RIVER
​
The Bow River is more than a destination, it's a living ecosystem that deserves to be understood and protected. Every trip is thoughtfully tailored to each guest, combining local knowledge, patient instruction, and a genuine appreciation for the river and everything it supports.
Whether you're learning to fly fish, pursuing wild trout, or simply taking in the breathtaking scenery from a drift boat, our goal is to help you slow down, connect with nature, and experience the Canadian Rockies from a perspective few visitors ever see.
​
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Stewardship
We believe healthy rivers are the foundation of unforgettable experiences. Through ethical catch-and-release practices and respect for the ecosystem, we're committed to helping protect Alberta's legendary trout waters for generations to come.
Learning
 Every trip is an opportunity to learn; from casting a fly and reading the water to understanding the insects, wildlife, and rhythms that make the Bow River such a remarkable ecosystem.
Respect
We walk softly on the riverbanks and drift quietly through the current, honouring the wildlife, landscapes, and wild places that make every journey on the Bow River so special.
