Ram River

Every river has it's best times. Every one has its worst. Thankfully we're not allowed to fish when the Ram is at its worst, the season is only open from June 16 to October 31. Please put your trust in us and we will work with you to co-ordinate a time that's best for your trip, at a time that makes sense to travel to fish this river, not just when it's convenient to do business.

Like almost any of Alberta's east slopes of the rocky mountains trout streams, the Ram has a short window of insect hatches and it coincides with the open fishing season from June 16 to October 31. Even on opening day each year there is still ice clinging to the shaded, rocky crevasses in the canyon which keeps the river cool. The river warms up and the fishing is reliable at the same time each summer. Please email us and we will co-ordinate your trip with a good time to visit.

Like the other rivers the Ram River's hatches are of big bugs and sporadic numbers to start the season moving into a steady flow of smaller insects as the season marches on into late summer and fall. Late summer and fall fishing brings shorter windows of dry fly fishing but the window can be outrageous. Golden stones, drakes, flavs, pmds, blue winged olives, sally stones, slate duns, hoppers, ants,  and midges are here in abundance. Weather and water permitting, exceptional results are known to happen on our river.
