Our Fishing Results
The McKinnon to Carseland
drift on Sunday was another
great day on the Bow. There
were a fair amount of
driftboats and pontoons but
overall not too crowed.
Fishing was a bit slow during
the middle of the day due to
the high sun and clear water
conditions. Fishing picked up
towards the evening with
nymphs deep along the seams
and steamers along the shaded
banks. Dry fly fishing really
picked up around 9:00pm
although the bulk of the
risers were relatively small
ones.
Visibility of the water was
greater than 5 ft therefore
sending alot of fish deep.
The fish were caught using a
variety of patterns such as
San Juans, caddis partridge
emerger, PMD nymphs, golden
stones, Elkhairs, PMD, and
clousers (black, whites and
browns). There were tons of
Caddis and PMD's on the
water.
Current Report
Water levels are still
running high but seemed to be
steady. The river is fishing
well using nymphs deep along
the seamlines. Although
streamers did work it wasn't
as productive due to the
sunny conditions and clear
water conditions. Good dry
fly action with caddis in the
evenings.
Insect Activity
Heavy hatches of Caddis and
PMD mayflies. In addition, we
did see a number of Golden
Stones.
Our bug screen included the
following: large golden
stones, PMD nymphs, worms,
green caddis worms, crane fly
larva, midge larva
Hot Fly Patterns:
San Juan Worm
Caddis Partridge Emerger
Golden Stone Nymph
Bitchcreek Nymph
Olive Emergers (hares ear,

Sparking Pupa
Marabou Clousers (black,

HAVE A GREAT DAY OF
FISHING!!!
