My brother is in town from Yellowknife for a few days with his family, and today we took the opportunity to get out on the Bow River with our friend Quinn. The fish were quite active earlier this morning and we had a lot of hits and several fish on and landed, especially when we got out of the boat to fish some of the runs more thoroughly. The hits slowed down significantly after lunch and fish were few and far between for the rest of the drift. We fished nymphs, dries and threw streamers. Apart from one missed hit, dry flies proved to be ineffective today, while various worm and streamer patterns were attracting attention. Samples from a couple of fish showed they were feeding sparingly on worms and caddis larva.
