September 2018 abruptly finished our summer, and fall is here, this morning marked our first real frost! The nymphing is consistent but the dry fly fishing has been the star so far. Get the right day and you can polish off hours pursuing big trout gulping tiny olives. Somehow we manage not be cold when we intently cast to rising fish, i equate it to feeling not as tired as the losing team if your are fortunate enough to be winning the game. Not sure how much of our season is left but get yourself some Patagonia nano pants to wear under your waders and fish until the trout no longer rise.

August has now past the Riv. is low the water temperature is cool and the trout are happy, taking hoppers and small nymphs. The trico fishing has dwindled but on the right day olives have provided fine fare for rising fish. Yes, mix in caddis flies and the dry fly fishing continues to rock. September,is upon us with the changing colours and the first of the frosty mornings. Best we get out there and make the most of 2018 season.

August is here and the river has been hot depending on the day. Seems like every afternoon the gurgle of thunder is somewhere in valley bringing its clouds and puffs and wind. No matter, put your jacket on and keep casting that bug. You never know on the Bow! BIG BROWN TROUT will come along and eat your offering. We have not landed "Black Book" brown yet. However, that's not to say we are not in the game hoppertunities are practically daily. The fish are big and are tricky to; entice, hook (let them eat it, difficult when they scrutinize follow and eat it going downstream) and land. Nevertheless, super exciting and can't wait to go out again next time. Trico and caddis fishing has kicked off, so its dry flies all around, unless you want break up your day and give a streamer a good go. In short, the best time to be on the BOW IS NOW!
