Country Pleasures, a Bow River fly shop, is the oldest and most established of all the Bow River fly shops. Established in 1982, Country Pleasures is the fly fishing specialty shop in Southern Alberta.
Just south of Willow Park Drive on Macleod Trail Southeast, Country Pleasures carries plenty of tie-your-own fly paraphernalia as well as ready-made flies, line, rods, reels and more. Plenty pleasurable indeed, it also offers guided float trips on the Bow River. In preparation for trout chasing, consult the shop for information on free Saturday morning fly-fishing seminars or sign up for a basic or intermediate how-to course in fishing or fly tying. Globetrotting fishers will want to check out the shop’s huge selection of saltwater gear.
