Here comes the Sun!

The Bow has settled and fishing in now getting good.Still plenty of water in the system but it will begin to drop as the forecast calls sun and hotter weather, 30C on Tuesday July 23rd, maybe the first day this year we have had 30C. Oh well the fish are happy which is always a good thing. Streamer fishing has been good and nymphing is productive. We have began to see some dry fly action and as the river drops this should improve and the trout will look up. Plenty of caddis in the evening, some PMD's and the Stoneflies are migrating in places.. Finally, the Bow is ready to fish.... Tightlines

Run Off Continues

Looking at Bow and its tributaries of the Sheep river and Highwood we are a ways away from Fly Fishing. Southern Alberta is better with fishable waters which is nice for our long weekend of Canada Day. The weather is looking better for later in the week giving the rivers time to settle and hopefully its sooner than later. Early July is my guess, then look out the Bow River 2019 season will kickoff.... Big Browns eating Big Bugs...... I'll keep ya posted.

Run Off 2019

Run off has started the Bow is rising and its tributaries are coloured and cold from melting snow. Depending on the rainfall this period of coloured high water lasts few weeks. Then rivers return to lower levels and stoneflies begin to emerge the fishing can be really good.
