Fishing Reports - July 7

Bow River Report –July 7, 2014

Things are definitely under way with the river now. Clarity is good, levels are good, all is good! As of this morning, we are at 190 cms.

Good numbers of PMD’s and Caddis, with fish eating them. A few Stonefly eats here and there. A Stonefly nymph is pretty much a sure thing right now and the Streamer fishing is pretty good as well.

All in all, a normal everyday decent early July fishing report. Unlike the last two years!

McKinnon`s road and launch area are open. Having said that, we ask that people think twice about using McKinnon’s when we see heavy rainfall. The road will not support rain and vehicles in its present state. Jansen’s is plugged with sand/mud and will be a few days before it dries out. Carseland will not open in 2014. City launches, and Policeman`s are OK.
