Peter has been fly fishing across Canada for more than 35 years, pursuing trout and other gamefish everywhere from British Columbia and Vancouver Island to the Northwest Territories, Saskatchewan, Quebec, and throughout Alberta's renowned fisheries.

For the past 20+ years, Peter has focused on the mountain rivers and streams of Southern Alberta, while spending the last decade floating the legendary Bow River. In 2020, he turned a lifelong passion into a guiding business with one goal in mind: helping others experience the excitement of fly fishing while creating lasting memories on some of the most beautiful waters in North America.

Whether you're catching your first fish on a fly rod or chasing a personal best, Peter is passionate about making every trip fun, educational, and rewarding. He enjoys teaching anglers the skills and techniques that build confidence on the water, from casting and reading water to fish behavior and fly selection.

As a member of the Angling Outfitters and Guides Association of Alberta and the Bow River Trout Foundation, Peter is committed to responsible angling, conservation, and protecting the fisheries...
