Bow River Report - August 19th, 2007
Fishing Conditions
Cooler nights, as well as some cloudy or hazy days, have kept the water temperatures a lot cooler this past week.
Trico spinner fishing has been very good in the mornings and most days there has been the odd fish eating caddis through the mid-day.
Pseudos have also been around in good numbers in the afternoons and there are fish rising to them.
Anglers have also been getting a respectable number of eats on hoppers and hopper/bead is still a good bet.
Streamer fishing continues to be pretty good. On the cloudy days it can be very good. Heavier streamers on bright days, lighter on cloudy days
