Fishing Reports - September 24

Bow River Report – September 24, 2015

Good streamer fishing continues on the river. Deep nymphing with Wire Worms and Reese’s Pieces has been producing a lot of fish as well.

Seeing a reasonable number of eats on Hopper patterns. Not a bad idea to fish a Hopper-Dropper rig with a Boatman pattern or black Copper John as the dropper.

Starting to see a few decent rising fish later in the day on Pseudos (little BWO’s).

More and more fish in the more interesting water along the banks and inside seams now that the water is a lot cooler. Catching a good number of fish in skinny water on streamers and Boatmen patterns.

High Country River Report – September 24, 2015

Fishing in the high country continues to be very good. Hoppers, ants, beetles working best, Blue Winged Olives are starting as well. It is that time of year, and the mornings are quite cool, mid-morning through mid-afternoon offers the best fishing.

Not sure how many will actually pay attention to this, but the Bull Trout do spawn at this time of year. Maybe a good idea to leave them alone. Also watch where you’re wading.

Hatches:  Hoppers, Ants, BWO’s

Dries: Morrish Hopper, Mongo Hopper, Two-Tone Para Ant, Fire Beetle, 

           Parachute Adams, Film Critic-BWO, Spun Hair Dun-BWO
