Fishing Report - July 13

Bow River Report – July 13, 2015

Mother Nature helped out a little over the last couple of days, providing some rainfall that will cool things down a little. Cooler weather forecast for this week will be a big help as well.

Water temperatures in the shallow water along the banks has been pretty warm, so you’re not going to find many fish in those structures.

Mid-river structures, bars, and riffles are your best bet.

Still getting a decent number of eats on the Stonefly patterns (foam), but you have to work at it and focus on heavier flow areas like heavy seams, bars, and riffles.

The rising fish thing has been pretty tough in the last number of days. Lot of bugs, no snouts. That may come around with this cooler weather,

Streamer fishing has been good all this last week. Yesterday’s cloudy day provided a really good streamer day.

We recommend that anglers play fish as quickly as possible, not taking the fish out of the water. Until things cool down a little please skip that fish photo and get them back on their way.
