I have been fishing before I could walk according to my parents. My dad is to this day an avid angler and needles to say he was solely responsible for passing over the fishing bug on to me. I stopped fishing for a short period through out my college and Canadian Army years. However as soon as I graduated and retired from the army (in good standing) the beauty and the energy of the Rocky Mountain glacial rivers and the size/beauty of the fish living in it, reignited my passion for fishing. Additionally the art of fly fishing and everything that comes with it which brings me to realize that I will never stop learning about it i.e the fish, reading the water, insects, tying flies, rowing the boat is another reason why I am an avid fisher and like to spend my time with the family on the river hence the name RiverPeople Guides.

Captain Oz explained everything very well. His knowledge is very deep regarding fly fishing. I would definitely recommend him if you want to learn to Fly Fishing or just have a great captain showing you were to catch fish

Fishing on the Bow
Full Day Trip - Hike/Wade Fishing on June 11, 2025 • 2 adults
Captain Osman was very professional and knowledgeable, at the same time very personable and quite the cook. My son-in law and myself thoroughly enjoyed our trip. We picked up some great tips and new skills to practice and caught a good number of fish. (Even managed to wrangle one in for a picture). We both would highly recommend Captain Osman and this float trip. We are already talking about returning next year for the "Walk and Wade" option.
