Once the  weather stabilizes and The Bow River gets into it’s August Groove  we expect to have more consistent Dry Fly fishing.Currently there are hatches of Tricos,Caddis and P.M.D.’s.Hopper fishing should also be good once the fish start to look up again.If you want to catch trophy Brown and Rainbow Trout The Bow River is the place.Contact Us.
