Fishing Reports - September 29



Bow River Report – September 29, 2016

A few rising fish here and there on the cloudy days. Decent numbers of October Caddis around as well. A hopper/dropper rig with an October Caddis and a black Copper John or Prince Nymph is a good choice.

Streamer fishing continues to be good. Cloudy days better than sunny.

Even though the weather forecast for the next few days doesn’t lend well to suntans, it will likely get the BWO’s kicked into high gear.

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

Crowsnest River Report – September 29, 2016

The Crowsnest is very low, clear, wadeable, and technical here and there. If you find rising fish, prepare for small flies, light tippets, and maybe a number of fly switches.  Boatman in the tailouts can be really fun at this time of year.

High Country River Report – September 29, 2016

Some of the best dry fly fishing of the year right now. Best fishing from late morning to around 4 PM. It’s that time of year when, if it’s cold and crappy, it might be better to look elsewhere for fishing. But if we get any nice weather it would be a very good idea to head to the hills.
If you find fish being a little picky try a small BWO pattern like the
Film Critic-BWO or a small Parachute Adams. Remember, only about four and a half weeks left for fishing the high country. Get out there!
