Fishing Reports - August 20

Bow River Report –August 20, 2014

Trico fishing has been coming along nicely to provide a perfect wa to use up a few hours of your morning.

Hopper/foam fly fishing has been pretty good. The hopper/dropper thing has been kind of inconsistent. At times you’ll get a bunch of eats on the nymph, but at other times hardly anything. The dry fly stuff has been good enough that most of our guides have been leaving the nymph off and just fishing dry.

Streamer fishing continues to be good.

Don’t forget, the Fish Creek boat launch is closed for about two weeks for repairs. All other downstream launches are open.
