Surprise! Fishing Reports

Bow River Report –July 7, 2013


The river dropped a bunch over the last 24 hours but just as importantly, the river at Banff has dropped a bunch in the last 48 hours. Highwood and Sheep have dropped a lot as well.

It won’t be as long as most of you think before fishing gets going on the river.

Biggest thing will be boat launches. They need help!

Country Pleasures/Patagonia/Onwardup is raising funds for Bow River Restoration, as well as High River Flood Relief. Patagonia clothing 50-80% Off, with all proceeds going to these two causes.
