FISHING REPORTS

Bow River Report –September 21, 2010

Fishing in the last week has been like fishing coastal Scotland, cold, grey, and wet. The fishing has been pretty good even though the comfort level has been a little off.

Baetis, Pseudos, and Boatmen are all in full swing, giving us some pretty awesome dry fly fishing.

Indian summer arrives later this week with temperatures expected to be in the high teens. Who knows how long it will last so you might want to take advantage.

Crowsnest River Report – September 21, 2010

Fall conditions on the Crow. Low, very clear water, with pretty spooky fish. A very cool time to fish the Crowsnest if you’re into the technical stuff. The cloudy weather will mean lots of Blue Winged Olives. Warmer weather for later this week will allow for less layers if you head out.

Streamers: Brunette Leech, Chamois Leech.
