Meet your guide - Martin
I love to fish. And I love seeing people learn new skills and have success in places I have discovered.
I’ve been fishing the rivers near Calgary for over 15 years. Along the way, I’ve learned to value conservation efforts that preserve the quality of our fishery, including protecting native trout habitat. Starting Riseform lets me put these things together and meet people who care about the same things.
I work hard to create a unique client experience that makes great fly fishing memories for the novice and experienced fly fisher alike.
What to Expect - The gear
Drift boat
Welcome to my office. The Ro Tailwater Skiff. This drift boat is comfortable for a long day on the water and will get us where we need to go on the river
rods and reels
Three fully rigged name brand rods and reels for each angler are ready to fish from the moment the boat launches.
Clients are welcome to bring their own equipment.
Other Comforts
Top-of-the-line cooler, tumblers, and mugs keep everything cold or hot for the day.
Safety
Equipment
The boat is equipped with lifejackets for each angler, whistles, throw line, and a well-stocked emergency kit.
Training
Guides all have First Aid and CPR training.
Orientation
A pre-trip orientation several days before the trip will allow you to prepare fully. An on-site boat orientation will occur immediately prior to the trip to talk about hazards and boat safety.
