Fishing Reports July 7

Bow River Report –July 7, 2010
Dry fly fishing is kind of as good as it gets right now. Stoneflies, Caddis, and PMDs are all around. Rising fish are more abundant during cloudy conditions and fish on dry flies will come more frequently when the light is lower.


Nymph fishing has been quite good. Large Stones, Worm patterns are working well. A Chamois Leech under an indicator is very effective right now.

Streamer fishing has been good with some big fish being caught. Large, dark streamers that sink fast have been the best but on brighter day try smaller streamers.
