This area is considdered by the Locals to be a pure Dry Fly Fishery , and due to the fairly low fishing pressure or the vastness of the 4 masive local Watersheds you have the opprotunity to catch healthy pure Rainbow , wild Cutthroats , Brown Trout and even Bull Trout in good numbers . We Promote and Guide on a barbless-catch-and-release-only basis ,and actively petition for a Zero Limit Fishery here in Alberta.

RD Carson , host of "Officially Rugged , with RD" on The Sportsman Channel USA
"In my job as an outdoors show host ,I am very lucky to be able to hunt and fish all over North America , and I can say with confidence that my stay at the Eckardt's Tecumseh Mountain Guest Ranch was definately one of the very best . The fishing was spectacular and the lodging and meals of the ranch were second to none!"
