FISHING REPORTS AUGUST 4

Bow River Report –August 4, 2010

Cooler, cloudy weather provided some very good fishing over the long weekend. Foam bug fishing turned back on and streamer fishing was very good. There are fish starting to work on Tricos here and there. A little bump of dirty water Sunday night and Monday cleared by Monday afternoon.

The Sheep is still a little dirty but the Highwood is clear so it’s not really having any effect on the Bow.

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