| Mike Guinn continues his status as "the world's most interesting man". When faced with the rear quarter of his trailer frame breaking off, what does he do? The W.M.I.M absconds with a fence post, uses his anchor rope to tie everything up, and brings everyone home safely. Kojak becomes MacGyver! |

Fishing Reports - August 20
Bow River Report –August 20, 2014
Trico fishing has been coming along nicely to provide a perfect wa to use up a few hours of your morning.
Hopper/foam fly fishing has been pretty good. The hopper/dropper thing has been kind of inconsistent. At times you’ll get a bunch of eats on the nymph, but at other times hardly anything. The dry fly stuff has been good enough that most of our guides have been leaving the nymph off and just fishing dry.
Streamer fishing continues to be good.
Don’t forget, the Fish Creek boat launch is closed for about two weeks for repairs. All other downstream launches are open.

Fly Boxes
 |
| There has been three customers in the last two days in the shop who lost a fly box with a LOT of flies inside. Although it goes without saying it's best to hold on to your boxes and do up your zippers, you might want to write your name and phone number on your boxes in permanent marker. At least then you have the chance of a good samaritan saving you a bunch of money. |
Fishing Reports - August 11
Bow River Report –August 11, 2014
The river got a couple of little flushes late last week thanks to some thunderstorms. That should get us through the rest of the summer without having to worry about water temperatures.
The Bow has fished a little more finicky during the last 3 or 4 days, not quite as good on the dry fly front as it had been. That should turn around now that there are a lot more Tricos. The caddis are still around in good numbers most evenings.
For nymphing, a Hopper-Dropper rig will work just fine. You might want to change it up and show the fish something different in the way of a foam bug. Try something more along the lines of a Cricket, Beetle, or Cranefly.
Streamer fishing has been good. The dry fly fishing was so good for so long a lot of people ignored the streamer fishing but if you give it a try, it’s pretty good.
Don’t forget, the Fish Creek boat launch closes on Saturday, august 16 for about two weeks for repairs. All other downstream launches are open.
