Goldenstone Fly Fishing has made the town of Okotoks, Alberta, Canada its home due to its proximity to the Bow River and numerous trout streams on the eastern slopes of the Canadian Rocky Mountains.  It was created to fulfil the dreams of its employees all of whom are avid fly fisherman and passionate about all aspects of the sport.  We enjoy tutoring new fly fishermen the fundamentals, taking experienced fly fisherman for a drift, and designing and building products used in support of Fly Fishing the Bow River.

Kurt has designed in detail each of the products and services that Goldenstone Fly Fishing offers its customers ensuring that quality and satisfaction are a priority.  Here are a few of his quotes:

"I struggle to find the right words to describe how much the Bow River means to me ... it is a place that is meant to be experienced in person ... it is a magical treasure for the fly fisherman, naturalist,and photographer alike."

"I have spent countless hours on its banks seeking solitude and an opportunity to take a moment of peace for reflection.  When I am away from the river I spend most of my time preparing for and dreaming of my next visit." 

"The Bow River valley is teaming with wildlife including abundant bird life and large wild game.  Whether experiencing the river with the City of Calgary as a backdrop, or feeling the sense of isolation that the wilderness of the lower sections provide, it is truly a gift that needs to be managed with great care to preserve it for future generations.   It is my belief that the more people who experience the Bow River the more that it will be conserved and cherished." 

"It is our goal at Goldenstone Fly Fishing to provide our customers with a safe and relaxing adventure on the Bow River; however, we hope to periodically interrupt their relaxation by allowing them to witness an eagle attempt to lift a brown trout out of the water or by guiding them into the position to entice a trophy rainbow trout."

Cheers,

Kurt Chenuz, CD, MEng, PMP, PEng
