Bow River Report - Wednesday, May 26 - Sean Britt
Topic: Fishing Reports|What a difference a day makes. As many of you may know, we’ve had some of the best early dry fly action we’ve seen in years these past few days/week. However, things are changing as the weather changes. While I can’t speak for changes in the daytime hatch, the evening has seen a shift. There are still large caddis hatching (size 12-16), but the fish don’t seem to be feeding as hard on the surface. While they are coming up for caddis, it isn’t as aggresive or intense as the past few days. They seem to be taking emergers following the dry as well as nymphs. So, good news is they are still feeding very well, you might just have to do a dry fly/emerger combo.
The fish can still be found in the same spots, nice buckets within runs, seams, dropoffs, etc. Hot nymphs include all colors of san juan, caddis pupa/larva and beadhead flashback pheasant tail. If you head out, you will still have loads of fun….just be sure to try various tactics if one isn’t working at the time. Good luck and tight lines…..
