Current Report
Bow River - The river is in excellent fall condition. Fish are feeding heavily at the bottom of the riffles. Try hopper-dropper - but don't expect too much action on the hopper. Dropper should have some flash to imitate water boatmen. Try prince nymphs, hare's ears, evil weevils, baetis nymphs, wagler's water boatmen, black copper johns.
October Caddis are starting to happen - try orange stimulator, orange parachute madam x's.

Special Report
Wanting to simply enjoy a walk along the river? It's almost time to start checking the Elbow River for spawning brown trout redds. Remember that the Elbow and Bow upstream of the wier by the zoo is closed Oct 1.
