FISHING REPORTS

Bow River Report –July 28, 2010

Hotter weather now that summer seems to have arrived. The bright, hot days have, and will fish tougher than the cloudy days.

Still some foam bug action happening here and there. Caddis fishing has been pretty good but more so closer to Calgary. PMD’s still kicking around, really heavy on the cloudy days, but they should be about done any time.
Tricos starting to show up but not in enough quantity to get fish up to them in large numbers. This will change as Tricos will get heavier and heavier in the coming days.

Nymph fishing has been good. A small tungsten bead fished in the riffles has been pretty awesome.

Streamer fishing has been surprisingly good, even on the bright days.

High Country River Report – July 28, 2010

The high country streams seem to be on a roller coaster. They keep getting into real good shape and then they get a heavy rainfall and the water comes up and cools down. This week’s warmer weather should bring things more into order.

Lots of bugs around so with just a little warmer water things should rock and roll.

Hatches: Golden, Yellow and Lime Sally Stoneflies, Caddis, PMD’s, Quill Gordon Mayflies, Green Drakes, and Flav mayflies.

Streamers: Brunette Leech, Chamois Leech, Large, olive or white streamers for Bull Trout.

Nymphs: Pheasant-Tail, Hare's Ear, Copper John, Tung Stud, and San Juan Worm

Dries: Berrett’s Barred Leg Stone, Neversink Caddis, Fat Albert-Black, ParaTrooper-Green Drake, Spun Hair Dun-PMD, Berret’s Emerging Green Drake
