Fishing Reports


Check our new River Report Chalk Boards hanging about the fly bins in store!

Bow River Report –May 9, 2012

The last few days have been beautiful, bringing out large numbers of anglers. The weather is supposed to turn on us towards the end of the week and then return to spring for the weekend.

Most of the dry fly fishing occurs later in the day, towards dusk. Midges have been decreasing in numbers but the first few caddis are coming out, keep an eye out as this hatch should start very, very soon.

Streamer fishing has been inconsistent but good at times. Nymphing has been improving likely due to consistent weather and conditions over the past few days.

BWO’s have been around for a bit now. On those cloudy days in the next bit will likely see them hatching in big numbers with maybe even some fish eating them.
