Bugs!



Welcome news for those of us who like to fish dry flies! The above pictured critter has been
kicking around on the river for a little while now with very good numbers this past weekend.

I realize we'll likely get in trouble with the experts, but this is not a Golden Stone, they are
Skwala Stoneflies. There's enough of them around to make it worth while throwing a dry! 
Certain Bow River fish have been rumoured to show a total lack of inhibition with patterns like
the Grillo's Hippie Stomper.....Ah, Foam!

Midges on the river like crazy as well. And with the forecast cloud cover later this week the BWO's
should be rather insane!

Don't mean to completely pick anyone out but we do have a while before we see the ever wonderful
PMD hatch on the Bow.

Should only be 3 or 4 weeks until we see the Caddis! Keep your fingers crossed
for good water conditions. Based on the way the fish have been looking up, if we get caddis
with anything approaching decent visibility and levels....yikes!
