FISHING BANFF and YOHO NATIONAL PARKS, An Anglers Guide with Special Fly-Fishing Section, by J.D. Horning and F. Van Der Vliet, is a comprehensive handbook detailing the extensive angling opportunities found across more than 7,900 square kilometers of protected Canadian wilderness.
The guide covers an expansive network of over 100 lakes, 40 major rivers and streams, and countless smaller backcountry creeks and beaver dams that support regional game fish. Tailored to challenge fishermen of all skill sets and styles, the book serves as a practical roadmap by showing readers exactly where to locate fish, how to navigate the rugged park terrain to get there, and what specific gear or flies to employ. Beyond just tactical instructions, authors J.D. Horning and F. Van der Vliet dive into the environmental "why" behind successful angling, pairing data-driven techniques with illustrated maps and a dedicated specialty fly-fishing section to decode the behavior of trout and other species within these alpine ecosystems.
