Fishing Reports-September 11
Bow River Report –September 11, 2014
We have to admit, none of us felt the compulsion to fish the last couple of days. However, we did send some folks who really wanted to fish to a couple likely dry fly spots. They found lots of fish rising on BWO mayflies every afternoon this week.
Even after the sudden pulse of winter, the river will likely continue to fish just fine. We have probably seen the last of the Tricos but if it warms up like they say, hoppers should fish OK again.
Water Boatmen are showing up in a big way in the lower stretches. This is one of our favorite hatches/events every year.
Long story short….lots of good fishing yet to come before winter sets in.
Fish Creek launch is closed until around September 19 for repairs. And with the rain of yesterday and today, you might want to avoid McKinnon’s for a day or so.
Hatches: Caddis, Pseudos (tiny little BWO), Baetis (saner size of BWO)

Crowsnest River Report – September 11, 2014
The Crow is back down to just under 5 cms, after jumping up pretty good last week after rain. With nice weather forecast for a while fishing down there should be good.

High Country River Report – September 11, 2014
Might not be a bad idea to give the high country a few days to return to more normal fall conditions. With average and above average temperatures forecast for next week they’ll start to fish just fine.
Some of the streams got a lot of snow in their headwaters so if it warms up quick there might be a little pulse of dirty water. Best to check with us before heading out.

Fishing Reports-September 3
Bow River Report –September 3, 2014
Decent numbers of rising fish in the last few days on Tricos, Caddis , and BWO’s.
Guided boats that have gone with San Juan Worm rigs have caught a lot of fish in the last week so if you want to get tugged a bunch, that’s the ticket.
Still getting a good number of eats on the Hoppers. Lots of refusals as well, good idea to try something a little different like a big ant, beetle, or cricket.
Fish Creek launch is closed until around September 15 for repairs. And with the rain of yesterday and today, you might want to avoid McKinnon’s for a day or so.
Hatches: Tricos, Caddis, Pseudos
Streamers: Clouser-Brown/White, Geek Leech-Purple, Silvey’s Scuplin Leech-Olive/Black/White Head, Love Bunny, Circus Peanut.

Crowsnest River Report – September 3, 2014
Crow is pretty typical for early September. A lot more technical fishing but if that’s what you like you can have a lot of fun.

High Country River Report – September 3, 2014
Given the rainfall amounts they are calling for in the southwest corner of the province today, it will likely be the weekend before a lot of the high country streams get back into shape again. Don’t worry, it’s supposed to get nice again on Thursday so they’ll be fine in a day or two.

Fish Ass Friday!
Our first instalment of Fish Ass Friday!
A lot of what we see on social media today are standard, run of the mill face and side shots of fish. Well, for those who truly appreciate the tail, anal, and caudal fins, we introduce F.A.F.
Every Friday, we will post photos of the piscatorial posterior side of nature. All species of fish will be featured, with nothing ahead of dorsal in evidence.
Our first! And for those who use it, go to our Facebook page on Fridays.
If you like the Fish Ass photo you will be entered for a prize draw.
And if you guess what species of fish it is in the comments you'll be entered in a draw for a second prize.
