May 26 a.m. Bow River Report - Sean Britt

Topic: Fishing Reports|

Made it out for a quick 2.5 hour outing this AM in a popular city stretch. Outside temperature started at 7 and rose to 11. Visibility is okay at 2-3′. No wind and some off/on cloud cover. Ran a sieve through the water and saw some midges and aquatic worms. Flipped some rocks and saw some decent size caddis (~14). Landed one brown between 17-18.” Took a size 14 caddis. He was in about 4-5′ of fast water. At about 8:45 lots of insect activity started with a big BWO hatch (size 14/16 or so) as well as tiny midges (~22). Hope folks can make it out today and take advantage of the nice conditions before runoff starts!

Tip of the day:  check and clean your flies often, as the didymo is pretty thick and can be the difference between a take and a shake.
