River People Guides

River People Guides, led by the skilled Guide Osman Hamzic, stands out as a premier guiding business offering unforgettable fishing experiences in the picturesque locales of Calgary, Alberta, and Patagonia. Specializing in guided fishing trips, River People Guides ensures a memorable time for anglers, with Captain Osman Hamzic leading the way to explore the beauty of Rocky Mountain streams, upper, and lower Bow River.

Calgary, located in Alberta, is not traditionally known as a prime fishing destination as it is a landlocked city without direct access to significant bodies of water suitable for fishing. However, nearby rivers and lakes, such as the Bow River, offer opportunities for fly fishing enthusiasts to enjoy trout fishing.

The diverse range of packages caters to different preferences, featuring regular drift boat trips, jet boat excursions, and wading adventures. With a team of 5 experienced guides boasting decades of fishing expertise, River People Guides can accommodate groups of up to 10 people, providing personalized and enjoyable outings.

The lower Bow River emerges as a highlight, offering anglers the chance to reel in world-class Trout against the stunning backdrop of the Rocky Mountains. While the captivating photos provide a glimpse, the actual experience of immersing oneself in this natural wonder surpasses expectations.

Guide Osman Hamzic, a passionate fly fisherman, elevates the experience for guests by sharing valuable tips and tricks. The inclusive trip packages cover essential amenities such as fly fishing gear, PFDs (Personal Flotation Devices), coaching, snacks, nonalcoholic beverages, and shuttle services. Anglers need only bring a standard provincial fishing license, polarized sunglasses, and a hat to complete their essentials.

For those who prefer using their own gear, River People Guides welcomes the use of personal fly fishing gear or spin casters with artificial bait (adhering to a strict 'no live bait' policy). On full-day trips, guests are treated to a delicious hot lunch on the riverbank, and jet boat trip participants can request this culinary delight as well.

River People Guides encapsulates the spirit of exploration and camaraderie in the realm of fishing, promising not just a day on the water but an immersive journey into the heart of nature. Under the expert guidance of Captain Osman Hamzic, anglers can cast their lines in some of the most breathtaking locations, creating memories that last a lifetime.
