Big News From Simms


Pretty big news from Simms Fishing Products this week. Effective November 15, retail prices on a large number of Simms products, in particular their higher ticket items like waders, boots, and technical outerwear will be revised to a more competitive level.

To give an example, a Simms G4 Pro Jacket that was $849.95 CDN just a few months ago is now $ 649.95 CDN.

Effective November 15, all of our products in store, and on our online store, will reflect the new, lower retail prices.

Christmas comes early for some.

Fishing Reports - November 3



Bow River Report – November 3, 2016

Fishing has continued to be good over the last while. The number of big rainbows caught lately is amazing.
While nymphing provides the best consistency, the streamer fishing has been good for the most part.
Not a ton of bugs around of late, but there have been rising fish late in the day in a few places.
A Water Boatmen pattern fished as a nymph or retrieved like a streamer has been working well. The grabs on these bugs are spectacular. If you haven’t tried it you should.

The seven day forecast is as good as it gets, more indicative of early September than November. You might want to get out there.

Please note that our Brown Trout are moving around and getting ready to spawn. Show respect and handle them carefully. #KEEPEMWET

Hatches:  Water Boatmen, BWO’s

Dry Flies:  Wilcox Low Rider, Quigley’s Sparkle Flag-BWO,
                 Morrish October Caddis
   
Nymphs:   TB San Juan Worm, Copper John, Prince Nymph,     
                 Peacock Water Boatman

Streamers:  Taupe Leech, Bellydancer Zonker, Near Nuff Sculpin

Crowsnest River Report – November 3, 2016

With the exceptionally great forecast for the next seven days, a late season trip down to the Crow would be a fine idea. Still likely to be a few rising fish around.
Try a Boatman patern in the slower sections and tailouts.

Remember to check your regulations as sectional closures are now in place.

#KEEPEMWET

Hatches:  BWO’s, Water Boatmen

Dries: CDC Winged Emerger-BWO, Wilcox Low Rider-BWO

Nymphs:  Tung Stud, Water Boatman, Prince Of Darkness.
  
Streamers: Medusa, Circus Peanut

High Country River Report – November 3, 2016

The East Slope Streams are now closed through June 15, 2017.
