Fishing Reports - June 9

Bow River Report – June 9, 2015

Water levels continue to drop over the last week. Current levels at 176 cms, equivalent to second week of August in 2012. Visibility above the Highwood is about 18 inches. Barring any significant rain, conditions will continue to improve daily.

Dry fly fishing is a little tough but will get going any day. Nymphing with big Stonefly nymphs has been very good the last couple of days. Streamer fishing has been so-so, not as good as it should be given the conditions. That will likely get better in the coming days as well.

All of the boat launches are now open for your floating enjoyment.
