Dave Brown

For the past 14 years Dave Brown has guided fly fishermen on southeastern British Columbia's and southwestern Alberta's renowned rivers, such as the Elk, Bow and Crowsnest. During the falls he has pursued his other passion-wingshooting over pointing dogs-and has spent a considerable amount of time hunting Western Canada and the U.S. Dave soon realized that the upland hunting in and around his Canadian home was pretty special, with few hunters and lots of birds, especially Huns and Sharptails. With other outfitters advertising upland hunts in conjunction with Waterfowl shoots, Dave realized that no one was offering what true upland bird hunters really want: walk-up hunts over pointing dogs. Subsequently, Dave has become the first outfitter to employ pointing dogs in The Provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Dave also was instrumental in developing a cast & blast program in which clients would target large, pre-spawn Bow River Brown Trout for several days and then head out onto the prairies to hunt gamebirds. The program has been very successful. Dave also has spent considerable time pursuing other gamebirds, such as Chukar and Valley Quail in British Columbia as well as Mearns, Gambel's and Scaled Quail in Arizona. He also has hunted Bobwhite Quail in Oklahoma and a variety of species in Montana.

Dave gives thanks and credit to Ben O. Williams for his constant tutelage, especially with dog training.
