The hotter temperatures and bright sky mean nymphing should be your go-to method on the Bow for now. Try fishing a two-fly set-up with a heavy fly on the top to get both flies down. Small beadheads size 14,16 (prince nymphs, red copper johns, tungstuds, beadhead pheasant tail, and hare’s ear).

Hopper/dropper combination is also worth trying with one of the nymphs suggested above used as the dropper. Try a “Trina’s flexi girdle bug’ or a ‘barrett’s golden stone’ size 8 or 10 as your hopper.

Morning fishing with tricos is still going stong - lasting until about noon. Evening fishing with small peacock caddis, parachute caddis or CDC and elk caddis is also effective.

Reports on smaller streams in Southern Alberta are good but the water is still high. Try attractor patterns like the lime trude or ‘yeger’s 409.’
