Donna Cloutier

Donna Cloutier is a very kind and soft spoken woman who is also an incredible cook, fisher and local angling guide. You may recognize her from various BC fly fishing publications and magazine articles as she has been in many photo shoots.

She is our walk and wade specialist and was the first female angling guide in the Elk Valley. She has a very intimate knowledge of all the streams in the area including  the Crowsnest River. She was born and raised in Fernie and spent her youth with her father learning the in’s and out’s of the local waters; giving her years of experience that is hard to beat. Donna has a skill set that can be appreciated by all levels whether you are just learning or are an experienced angler; including her extensive knowledge on the local entomology.

Matching the Hatch is what it’s about on many of the streams and Donna has a fly box that is perfect for any occasion of hatches. Donna is a well respected guide who calls Fernie her home with her husband Louis who is also alocal angling guide. We would be happy to arrange a day on the water with Donna for you!

Because of Donna’s experience in the angling world and her reputation as a female guide she has a very busy summer calendar. We suggest you let us know early if you would like to spend a day on the water with her.
