Fishing Reports- May 13, 2014
Bow River Report –May 13, 2014
We made it out of the last round of soaking rains, blizzards, etc. without too much in the way of degraded water conditions. The Highwood, Sheep, and Fish Creek are not a very nice color but have started to improve and drop a little in the last couple of days.
Last week saw some more consistent rising fish (more consistent, not entirely a no-brainer) a few afternoons and evenings had decent numbers of heads.
Other than that, the fishing was pretty decent on nymphs and streamers. The only poor reports we have heard are from anglers who only fished from the boat. We all want to get our drift boats on the water to start the season, but at this time of year you are most effective when you are on foot, covering the water more methodically. If you want to drift, pick a short float and spend most of your time stopped, fishing specific structures, seams, runs, etc.
McKinnon`s road and launch area are in horrible shape and they say Carseland will not open in 2014. We ask that anglers not use McKinnon’s as vehicles are causing damage when using the road. This is on ASRD’s radar and may be closed for a period soon for repairs and re-surfacing. City launches and Policeman`s are OK.

Fishing Reports - May 6
Bow River Report –May 6, 2014
It just had to happen! The river was fishing really good last week. Kevin and Pete got out a few times and a number of customers were out. For the most part, reports were very good. Then winter came back!
With all of the snow and rain over the weekend, Fish Creek is a curious Mocha color. The Sheep and Highwood are both similar. The river above Fish Creek, although colored, is still somewhat fishable.
If things dry out like they say this week things should get better slowly. There were a decent number of rising fish before all the snow so they should get rolling again.

Crowsnest River Report – May 6, 2014
It got really warm in the pass late last week and visibility dropped to around a foot. Then they got dumped on with snow over the weekend. As it warms that will likely mean it will take a few days for things to get sorted out.
We will try and keep up to date on the situation down there. Give us a call before you head down or call Vic at Crowsnest Angler (that’s what we do).
