Fishing Reports - November 3

Bow River Report – November 3, 2016

Fishing has continued to be good over the last while. The number of big rainbows caught lately is amazing.

While nymphing provides the best consistency, the streamer fishing has been good for the most part.

Not a ton of bugs around of late, but there have been rising fish late in the day in a few places.

A Water Boatmen pattern fished as a nymph or retrieved like a streamer has been working well. The grabs on these bugs are spectacular. If you haven’t tried it you should.

The seven day forecast is as good as it gets, more indicative of early September than November. You might want to get out there.

Please note that our Brown Trout are moving around and getting ready to spawn. Show respect and handle them carefully. #KEEPEMWET

Crowsnest River Report – November 3, 2016

With the exceptionally great forecast for the next seven days, a late season trip down to the Crow would be a fine idea. Still likely to be a few rising fish around.

Try a Boatman patern in the slower sections and tailouts.

Remember to check your regulations as sectional closures are now in place.
