FISHING REPORTS

Bow River Report –April 5, 2011


Low level snowmelt has, and will continue to, cause some consternation of late. Visibility has been so-so, running at about a foot on average. Cooler days through the middle of this week should help a bit. After our obligatory whining about colored water, the fishing has been not too bad.

Heavier, dark colored streamers and nymphs are your best bet. Stonefly nymphs have been working better of late.

Hatches: Midges

Streamers: Party Boy, Silvey’s Sculpin Leech (Black w/ Olive, White Head), Marabou Clousers, Articulated Leech-Black or Purple, Geek Leech

Nymphs: Bloom’s Tung Dart, Chamois Leech, Tung Stud, Conestone, Jimmie Legs, B/H Wire Worm

Dry Flies: Quigley’s Cluster, CDC Griffiths Gnat
