Fishing Reports - March 10

Bow River Report – March 10, 2016

The river has been fishing pretty darn good, especially for this time of year. Deep nymph rigs will give you the most consistent success, but streamer fishing has been pretty good as well.

Patterns/rigs for deep nymphing consist of a worm pattern or stonefly nymph, combined with either a midge pupa or caddis pupa pattern trailer.

Dark, heavy streamers will give you the best returns.

A few rising fish on midges have been showing up, best bet for that is right at the end of the day.

The fish seem to have lost none of their amazing weight from last summer/fall and are in great shape.
