Bow River Report – March 12, 2007
Fishing Conditions
Reports from the river have been quite good over the last week. Warmer
daytime temperatures last week caused the river to get fairly dirty, particularily
in the afternoon. Cooler temperatures this week, as well as most of the snow in
the city being gone, should lead to clearer water. Nymphing the typical winter
holding areas (slower, deeper areas) has proven effective. We would suggest trying a streamer as well. Darker, lead eyed streamers have been producing well. The fish seem to especially healthy looking this spring and with godd snow pack in the Bow drainage it should be a great year. Get out there.
Hatches
Midges (Let us know if you find any fish on top).
Fly Selection
Streamers: Slump Buster, Chamois Leech, C/H Kiwi Muddler, Conehead Rubberleg Bow River Bugger (Black), Geek Leech, Silveys Sculpin Leech, Medusa.

Crowsnest River Report – March 12, 2007
Fishing Conditions
The Crow fished fairly well last week. Reports from down there indicate that there is still a lot of ice below the falls but that should come out quickly with warmer temperatures. Low level melt could cause dirty water conditions so we recommend checking before your trip down. Nymphing is pretty much the order of the day but hopefully we will see some fish working midges in the upcoming weeks.
