Bow River Fishing Reports - March & April 2012

We are always appreciative of fishing reports and photos sent to us by our shuttle clients who are floating the Bow River.

Here are a couple that we received in March and April. While we were not able to pass these along in a 'timely' manner, we hope that you will enjoy them anyway.

A great day to be on the water before the wind kicked up and did the great old job of annoying the casters and the rower.

Before the wind played its little game of annoy the fishers we landed several nice fish with a 22" brown topping the deck. More memorable was the monster of a Bow that took, shook, rolled at the surface and spit the streamer; a rainbow that will be that much smarter when our paths cross next time.

We saw a decent hatch of midges and I am excited to say a couple tiny Blue Winged Olives were gracing the bow of my boat.

Two out of three months drifted this year, we shall see how the year goes.

Just a quick note to say that the river conditions were very good on Tuesday (except for one hour of solid east wind in the afternoon).

Jeff and I caught one big rainbow, one big brown, and one big whitefish (all about 19-20 inches), and a bunch of 12-16'' rainbows. There were fish rising to small midges and BWO, but we focused on fishing big nymphs in the hopes of catching bigger fish.

It was a fun day, thanks again for the shuttle.
