Chilling on The Elk River
Fishing remains strong on all The Rivers we guide on.Cooler Temps have created a feeding frenzy of sorts.Hoppers Continue to be the mainstay especially on The Bow River.Southern Alberta Rivers are also fishing well, depending on the river and elevation hatches are all over the map but once again Hopper fishing remains strong.

Streamer eating Elk River Bull Trout
Generally Fishing Conditions in the Canadian Rockies(The Bow,Elk,Oldman and Saint Mary Rivers’) remain strong.Clients are having a great time throwing Hopper and other Terrestrial Patterns when the fish are looking up which right now is most of the time.We think this pattern will continue well into September.
Streamers have been producing
During non -hatch periods or when the fish are not looking for Hoppers Anglers have experienced some very good to excellent Streamer fishing fo above average fish.
Bow River Brown Trout.

Over in Alberta Hopper fishing is the norm,Anglers wanting to match the hatch can easily do so with foam Hoppers and other terrestrial patterns.We are also seeing (depending on the river ) hatches of Caddis,Tricos,Pink Alberts.
Pink Albert May Fly on The Bow River
The Bow River continues to amaze Anglers with the off the charts Hopper fishing it’s that good.As air temperatures cool down watch for hatches of October Caddis and B.W.O’s Fall will be in the air sooner than later.
