Bow
River Report – February 5, 2016
With all of this
warm weather, a number of people have been getting out on the river and fishing
has been good. The Rainbows have retained the ridiculous weight they had last
fall and are pulling way better than normal for winter. Decent number of nice
Brown kicking around as well.
Nymphing is your
best bet, with a two fly rig consisting of a Worm pattern with a Midge Larva
trailer or you might try a Stonefly nymph.
Streamer fishing
has been good as well. Remember to fish them slower than summer.
A few reports of
fish rising to Midges but not a bunch.
