What's a father and son to do on New Year's Day? How about fly fishing on the Bow River?



Looks like Santa brought an identical SIMMS pack for each of them. :-)

Family fishing trip this morning!

The river is in great shape, with the flow rate continuing to drop. This evening, down to 162 cms.

Once again, we had shuttle clients floating most of the reaches of the lower Bow today. We stopped in at the boat launches at Glenmore Trail/Graves Landing, 22X/Fish Creek Park, Policeman's Flats, McKinnon Flats and Carseland/Johnsons Island.

Just a reminder that the silt has been removed from the boat ramp at Legacy Island and it's now in great shape!

A 'three generation' family float. Grandpa came to Calgary with his burgundy F-350 and matching Hyde drift boat, picked up his son (removing anchor in photo) and grandsons, and hit the Bow for a Sunday fly fishing trip.
