Bow River Report - July 16

Bow River Report – July 16, 2015

Finally! A rain day. Today and tomorrow are supposed to be somewhat icky, but things turn for Saturday. This is just what the doctor ordered for the river.

Fishing the last 3 days has been better, with the streamer fishing being very good. A lot more dry fly eats on the big bugs and even late day rising fish last night and the night before. The Tricos are as heavy as we have ever seen and the Caddis are still around in good numbers.

The rain tomorrow may give us a little push of color, but it should push through and offer fishable conditions through the weekend. Hopefully this gives us a reasonable drop in water temps to get us through another week.

We recommend that anglers play fish as quickly as possible, not taking the fish out of the water. Until the water cools down, please skip that fish photo and get them back on their way.
