Lake Minnewanka (Lake of the Water Spirits) is a mere 15 minutes from Banff. At 15 miles (22 km) in length, Minnewanka is the largest lake in Banff National Park. An outstanding array of fishing opportunities can be found here. With 20 years of Guiding experience, on the Lake, we are confident that we can provide you with an exceptional experience. Lake Minnewanka offers a new dimension to fly-fishing. Fly-fishing for lunker Lake Trout. In recent years some exceptional fly-fishing opportunities have been revealed. These denizens of the deep can often be found quite shallow, particularly during the first part of the summer. Pounding the shore with weighty streamers or plying the depths with nymphs can reveal some incredible results. From the decks of our 23.5 ft cruisers, with full, roomy, walk-around access, shooting long casts is a pleasure.

Lake Minnewanka provides excellent fishing for wild fish, and our clients have caught Lake Trout (up to 40 lbs/17 kg), Rocky Mountain Whitefish (to 3lbs/1.6 kg), and occasional Bull, Cutthroat and Brown Trout
