Bow River Fishing Report June 16

Bow River Report –June 16, 2010

Well, a few changes since last week…. The last cold snap seemed to almost completely eradicate the Caddis. They are infrequent n numbers over the last few days. Even the heat over the weekend failed to jumpstart them again.

However…Who cares as the PMD’s have been getting heavier and heavier over the last number of days. As of yesterday there were lots of bugs and fish eating them.

The water has taken a little bit (OK, about 20%) of a jump in flow on Tuesday/Wednesday but remains in good shape for visibility. This is the time we all wait for all winter. Big, dumb Brown Trout in the high water.

Nymphing should be quite good over the next while with the higher flows. Big Stones and Worms should be the ticket.

Streamers…. Big, nasty, dark, and heavy!! The streamer fishing should get better and better if the water stays around 1 to 2 foot visibility. 200 and 250 grain sink tips will increase your success.
