Easyway Drifters is a family operation. Your guide, Dwayne has fished the waters of Central Alberta for the past 30 years. He is a fly fisherman and outdoors man; and spends the summers guiding on his home waters. Marcy, Dwayne's wife, is our head cook and shuttle driver. Her shore lunches and desserts will have you asking for seconds!

Whether a walk and wade or a drift trip, our goal is to make our clients trip a memory of a lifetime!

The waters we guide on start with the Red Deer River.

The City of Red Deer is centrally located an hour and a half north of Calgary or an hour and a half south of Edmonton. This makes for an easy commute from both major airports. With the foothills and the Rocky Mountains on the horizon in the west, your know, you are in trout country! The Red Deer River flows through the center of this diverse countryside.

The Red Deer River originates in permanent snow fields in the Rocky Mountains of Banff National Park about 150 miles west of the city of Red Deer, Alberta. It flows in a generally west to east direction, across Alberta from the mountains through the foothills to the Prairies before joining the South Saskatchewan River. The Red Deer River is a spectacular piece of water. The section that we guide on begins below the Dickson Dam. The tail water created by the dam has created habitat that brown trout thrive in. There are limited access points, making a drift trip the ideal way to access the hidden waters between the Dixon Dam and the city of Red Deer.

You may also want to spend a day fishing the intimate spring fed waters of the North Raven; where the brown trout are paranoid and every cast a challenge!

To add to your experience, a side trip into the Canadian Rockies to fish the North Ram and Ram Rivers and other mountain streams will finish that trip of a life time. See our Trips section for details.
