About
Located in S.E. Arizona, The El Coronado Lodge is the only all “wild” Arizona Quail Hunting Lodge in Arizona. The all-inclusive El Coronado Lodge offers our clients the rarity of a luxury accommodation featuring private rooms, great food and beverage, plus three species of wild Arizona Quail which include Mearns, Gambels, and Scaled.
In 2021 there was a change in ownership, bringing the total acreage to an excess of 150,000 acres of private and inaccessible Forest Service and State Trust Land in Arizona and New Mexico which we are permitted for. The Primary Private Land that we hunt has been managed - and in some cases restored - for Quail habitat. The Lodge and Hunting Program have been featured in Covey Rise, Shooting Sportsman, Grays Sporting Journal, and other sporting magazines. The El Coronado Lodge is the finest wild bird hunting lodge of its kind in North America.
This unique venue is hunted 6-8 times per year and slots are limited to 10 Hunters. Orvis Endorsed Dave Brown Outfitters operates on a 2 Hunters : 1 Guide Ratio and we do not mix parties. Hunters can expect to have a shot at harvesting the coveted Arizona Quail Slam quite easily during a three day hunt as Mearns, Gambels, and Scaled Quail can all be found on our Ranches. Furthermore, due to the intensive Arizona Quail Habitat restoration practices that have taken place, Wild Arizona Quail species do not fluctuate as much compared to areas or properties where there has been little or no Quail Habitat Restoration or management.

Guided by Dave Brown Outfitters
740 33 Street Northwest, Calgary, AB, Canada • 30+ years of experience
At Dave Brown Outfitters, our “collection” of guides spans 2 countries, 2 U.S. states and 3 Canadian provinces.
Although the territory we cover is vast and ranges from the SW desert of Arizona, the Montana Front Range, the Canadian Rockies, and the Northern Great Plains, all our guides share a common goal:
To look after the best interests of our clients.
They are all friendly, knowledgeable hardworking individuals that we a proud to work with. Bottom line, whether your passion is Fly-Fishing or Wingshooting, the Guides of Orvis-endorsed Dave Brown Outfitters gets it done in many awesome locations. That’s not a boast. It’s a fact.
When you offer clients unsurpassed angling on dozens of rivers and streams in six major watersheds across one U.S. state and two Canadian provinces along with great Wingshooting opportunities in 2 US states and one Canadian province, you’d better darn well be able to back it up.
We can and we do – daily, all season long, trip after trip and client after client.
We are all fly-tying, sunglass-wearing, drift boat-rowing, fly-fishing professionals.
Collectively we’ve fished or guided in dozens of countries on five continents, yet each summer we return to share that experience and breadth of knowledge with you. Our common goal is to provide you, the customer, with a Western Canadian fly fishing experience that you’ll talk about for years to come.
We’re willing to bet that we have the highest retention rate of clients in the region, too, the best endorsement of all. Our corporate endorsements are numerous and varied: DBO is the guide service of choice in Alberta and B.C. for such prestigious travel companies as Cabela’s, Frontiers,Best Wingshooting and Yellow Dog Fly Fishing Adventures.
We’re also the only full-time guide service of its kind in Western Canada. For us, this isn’t a “second direction” of another business used to supplement income. Outfitting is all we do and we do it year-round. No one knows the water like we do, and no one can offer you the same level of customer service, expertise and professionalism.
