A guided fishing charter serving visitors from Calgary, running open-water and ice fishing trips for pike, walleye and lake trout, with a perfect rating and a guide known for patience and local knowledge.
What visitors say
Alberta Fishing Charters runs guided trips in southern Alberta, and many of its guests are visitors staying in Calgary who want a day on the water. Every review is five stars, and several call it the highlight of their holiday.
Trips include trophy pike and walleye outings in open water and ice fishing in winter. Reviewers describe the guide as knowledgeable about the water, clear about technique and good company. One ice fishing group appreciated the underwater camera and the care he took to explain catch and release and conservation. Another party said rods were bending within ten minutes of starting.
Beginners do well here. Several reviewers said they rarely fish but still landed big fish, with one ice fishing couple catching fish of 5 and 10 pounds in a four-hour booking. The guide gets kids involved too, showing them how to bait their own hooks. Early-morning three-hour trips are an option for shorter visits.
There are no complaints in the reviews. Catches vary by day, and one family caught only two fish through the ice, so go in with realistic expectations. Plan for a drive from Calgary, since trips meet at whichever lake is fishing well.
