FISHING REPORTS

Bow River Report –May 17, 2011


One constant of late is the wind, ever present from the south and southeast this week. When it has lain down there have been lots of bugs and some fish eating them.

Nymphs and streamers continue to produce. The river continues to improve as spring progresses.

The Highwood continues to pump in very dirty water so fishing below the confluence is maybe not the best idea. Above the confluence is more than fishable.

Hatches: Midges, BWO’s

Streamers: ¼ Pound Bugger-Brown #4, Clouser Deep Minnow-Black #2, Geek Leech-Purple #4, Darth Zonker-Black #2, Bush’s Town Run, Dirk Wiggler-Black, Articulated leech-Black, Jawbreaker-Black
