Fishing Reports - Cutthroat Beware Edition




Bow River Report – June 16,  2016

Things are hopping on the river right now!
The fish are extremely keyed into Stonefly nymphs, so much so we didn’t even list a worm on this week’s report.
Although the dry side of Stones is still a little weak it’s coming shortly.
PMD and Caddis dry fly fishing has been great. Streamer fishing has also been good.
And for the first time in a long time there’s fish in the “sexy water”. Along the banks, etc. For a little while here we migt be able to completely forego the mid-river stuff. However, they did turn the taps off a little yesterday with the level dropping a bunch.

Hatches:  Caddis, PMD’s, Stoneflies

Dry Flies:  Film Critic-PMD, Helen Keller, PMD Hackle Stacker, E/C Caddis,   
                 Bloom’s Parachute Caddis, AC Caddis, Chubby Chernobyl

Nymphs:   Sexy Stone, Jimmy Legs, W.M.D. Stone

Streamers:  Bellydancer Zonker, Skiddish Smolt, Sculpin Leech, 1/4 lb. Bugger


Crowsnest River Report – June 16, 2016

Conditions, and fishing, continue to be awesome on the Crow. Visibility at East Hillcrest of over 3 feet, with flow volumes of under 7 CMS.

Salmonfly/Stonefly patterns, both dry and nymphs, are working great right now.

Don’t be afraid of the Crow at this time of year if it’s a little dirty. It can be very good.

And the whole thing is now open!

Hatches:  Salmonflies, Golden Stoneflies

Dries: Stimi Stone, Bank Robber, Berrett’s Barred Leg Stone, Chubby Chernobyl

Nymphs:  Sexy Stone, Jimmy Legs, W.M.D. Stone, Conestone
  
Streamers: Love Bunny, Party Boy, Double Bunny



High Country River Report – June 16, 2016

As of today, the high country streams are now open (sorry Cutthroat).
As there hasn’t been anyone fishing them we can confidently tell you only one thing….the water looks like July 15th.
As for fly suggestions….we’re just guessing.
We’ll try and be more intelligent next week.

Dries: Stimi Stone, Bank Robber, Berrett’s Barred Leg Stone, Chubby Chernobyl
