Current Report
Bow River Report August
11, 2007
Cooler, rainy weather
earlier this week gave us
just what we needed. Cooler
water temperatures and
cloudy days and the river
lit up pretty good.
There are very good Trico
spinner falls in the
mornings. The cooler the
morning, the later the
spinner fall. Rising fish on
caddis has been good,
particularily on the cloudy
days. Starting to see more
Hopper eats so a
Hopper/Dropper is not a bad
way to go. A small (14 or
16) tungsten bead nymph has
been fairly productive of
late, especially in the
riffles and seams.
There have been lots of
Pseudo Mayflies in the
afternoons with a few fish
eating them and on the rainy
days late last wee we even
saw Baetis (already!).
Streamer fishing was very
good on the cloudy days but
is even worthwhile on the
sunny days. Cooler
temperatures forecast over
the next week will likely be
a big boost for fishing.
** Please remember, with
warmer water temperatures it
is very important to land
fish quickly and take extra
care in their release.
One-Week Fishing Forecast
Cooler daytime temperatures
and very cool nights
forecast fro the next week
will surely help the fishing.
