Bow River Report - May 2, 2007
Fishing Conditions
The Bow has been fishing quite well for this time of year. Dry fly fishing has been somewhat inconsistent but there have been some rising fish out there. The bugs seem to be heavier closer to the city and more snouts to go along with them. Expect better success with dries on cloudy days.
Reports have been that nymphing has been very good. Streamer fishing has been good with darker, heavier patterns the best choice.
