Fishing Reports

Bow River Report –August 14, 2012


The river has fished quite well over the last week. Rising fish can be found here and there on Caddis and PMDs.

The Hopper thing is going pretty good (it’s so nice to catch fish on foam! July kind of sucked)

Lots of fish finally up on bars and structures! If they won’t eat a dry, throw a small bead like the Tung Dart. They can’t help themselves.

Hatches: Hoppers, Caddis, PMD’s, Tricos, Pseudos on the cloudy days

Streamers: Silvey’s Sculpin Leech-Black/Olive/White #4, Egg Sucking Leech-Black, Marabou Clouser-Black/White

Nymphs: Tungsten Biotic Nymph-Olive #12, Tung Stud-Olive #14, Tung Dart

Dry Flies: Quigley’s Film Critic-PMD #16, Bloom’s Parachute Caddis, Berrett’s Hopper, Yeagers Hopper-Tan
