Bow
River Report –September 7, 2017
Having some really good days on Hoppers of
late. With the exception of a couple of days over the long weekend (likely due
to big pressure changes and east winds) the foam bug fishing has been pretty
darn good. In between the Hopper eats, there has been decent numbers of fish on
the droppers.
Tricos have actually been heavier again
over the last week after slowing down a bit a week ago.
Caddis are still around in decent numbers
and there has been some good dry fly action in the evenings here and there.
Streamer fishing has not been stellar in
the last little bit. It’s OK here and there, but not near as good as earlier.
In case you hadn’t noticed, the river is quite
low. We are now down to right around 60 cms. Keep in mind that it will warm up
faster with lower flow volumes so maybe forego the photograph and keep them in
the water. Also, take a little extra time to make sure fish are fully revived
before releasing.
There is still an advisory in place
regarding low water levels and high water temperatures (even though things have
cooled down on the Bow). This requests that anglers restrict angling activity
to the early morning hours to minimize stress on fish.
