Bow River Report - October 5th, 2011
Given the time of year, water level, water clarity, and weather over the last week, the river has treated most of us rather poorly.
There have been some high points, but consistency has been a problem. There are zillions of Boatmen around but fishing them has been on again, off again at best.
Still getting the odd eat on the foam bugs and there have been decent numbers of rising fish on BWO's
