Fishing Reports - August 5

Bow River Report –August 5, 2014

Fishing has gotten better and better as the last week has progressed. Lots of dry fly action, Hopper-Dropper is working well, and streamer fishing has been good as well.
Tricos have made their appearance!

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. Carseland is now open for public use, a nice surprise. Lower city launches and Policeman’s launches open.
Be careful taking out at Policeman’s!
