Our guided trips are designed for those anglers wanting to fly-fish lakes, ponds and reservoirs. We specialize in introductory stillwater fly fishing clinics by teaching you what is needed to become successful in the art, science, sport and passion that is fly fishing.
Fly-fishing stillwaters are both fun and relaxing. Edmonton's local trout lakes offer anglers close-to-home convenience and exceptional opportunities when rivers are off-color or high due to spring runoff or foul weather. Our mission is to introduce new fly-anglers, fly-fishermen from out of town, or anglers new to the Edmonton area, to the numerous local trout lakes at an affordable price. New float tube or pontoon boat owners or someone wishing to try fishing before making a tube or boat purchase are also more than welcome to book a guided trip. Our intentions are not to wine and dine you, but to help you understand where fish are feeding, what flies to use and the different methods used to fish them but most importantly; to show you a good time.
Fly-fishing
our local trout lakes can offer up huge trout and anglers booking a trip
can expect good insect activity all day, usually resulting in a great
time on the water. Our local lakes are some of the most fertile lakes
in Canada. The muddy bottoms of our lakes make superb habitat for most stillwater aquatic life like chironomids,
scuds and leeches.
Currently, we offer trips to several local trout lakes with most of our guided trips only
30 minutes from Edmonton. We also offer several other fly-fishing opportunities not listed on our Rates & Services page including:

AlbertaStillwaters.Com is a unique venture for Mike Monteith.
