Fishing Reports - February 6

Bow River Report – February 5, 2016

With all of this warm weather, a number of people have been getting out on the river and fishing has been good. The Rainbows have retained the ridiculous weight they had last fall and are pulling way better than normal for winter. Decent number of nice Brown kicking around as well.

Nymphing is your best bet, with a two fly rig consisting of a Worm pattern with a Midge Larva trailer or you might try a Stonefly nymph.

Streamer fishing has been good as well. Remember to fish them slower than summer.

A few reports of fish rising to Midges but not a bunch.
