Bow River Fishing Report - from Sept 18 2012

Having a trout run into your backing puts a kid in the candy store grin on

my face every time it happens and, on the Bow, I wait for it with a kind of
pre-exhilaration. Not today. 

We netted a number of rainbows all 17-18 inches and they put up good fights though. One almost... made the backing but then we had the best of them every time. One or maybe two small Browns and a nice Whitefish caught in fast water rounded out the catch, and release. 

Duns were hatching over the water.

With the river level so low you have stay on the main channel and choose the correct path or you will run along the gravel bottom. 

Trade off is that you can eliminate a lot of water where there are no fish and
concentrate where there are fish. Second trade is an easy landing at Policemans.

The fishing was steady until we docked out at 3:30 using Prince's nymphs and
copper johns. Big Browns they were in hiding. 

The East Wind had a little blow in the afternoon and it was a fine, fine day.
