Cold weather has brought great fishing to the Bow! Water temperatures have dropped and levels are at a great level for productive fly fishing. All sections are fishing well now that the Highwood has cleared, allowing for great visibility from the city down to Carsland. Recently, some patterns that have been producting especially well are:

 Nymphs: San Juan Worm #6,8; Evil Weevil #14,16; Pheasant Tail #14,16.

Streamers: Black Bow River Bugger #6; Kiwi Muddler #6,8.

Dry Flies: Swishers Dancing Caddis #14,16,18; Hi Vis Para BWO #18; Skid Bitch #6,8.

Remember, don’t be afraid to take off those indicators and look for rising fish tight to the banks on nice overcast days. Identify the hatching flies, make an upstream presentation, and set the hook!
