Since 1992, Dave Brown Outfitters has been guiding fly fishers on the Elk River and other rivers in southeastern British Columbia and southern Alberta. Based out of Fernie, British Columbia, Dave and his team of guides are keen to show visiting anglers some outstanding Rocky Mountain trout fishing without any crowds. Anglers have the opportunity to fly fish a variety of rivers for a number of species including brown, bull, cutthroat, and rainbow trout.
