my appologies for taking so long to update the blog! thurth is weve bin to busy fishing and guiding!!! the rivers have bin in great shape and are still fishing well! september is shaping up to be a excellent month! here are a bunch of picutres to show you what you have bin missing out!
over this past week all of our rivers are in great shape! the mountain stream dryfly action has begun finally and the big green and grey drakes are hatching same with the larger stoneflies!!! the bulltrout are on the move aswell and we have seen some good fish caught by myself friends and clients!!! the bow river has fishing well also with some excellent fish being caught on streamers, adult stonefly patterns and various caddis and mayfly nymphs/adults... i recommend yall get out there and enjoy the beautiful weather while you can and excellent action! we have had the unfortunate luck of running into alot of hard fighting fish this past week and not all of the larger fish have bin put in the net :p but i would like to thank all of the clients for few effort and hopefully next time we can land the ones that got away :)
over this past week we have bin all over. the mountain streams are still higher than normal this year but flowing clear. not many bugs are hatching yet, BUT! they should he hatching soon. tons of nymphs with dark backs and the odd stonefly schuck kicking around means the ecpi dryfly fishing july usually offers is going too happen any day! We have done good with nymphs on these streams but have not got many with of a large size so far. the bow river has dropped conciderablly and the golden stoneflies are hatching and the fish are gorging on them! here are a few photos from the past 4 days
the bow river took another huge drop overnight two nights ago so carly and i hit the river!! we have close to two feet of visibilitiy in down and about a foot and a half out of town! fishing was pretty good! we didnt manage to get any larger fish to hand today they all seem to have won the battles ;) but i did land one of my best rainbows of the year wich was a plus! saw more golden stones and PMD mayflys out we should be into some great dryflyfishing soon!
the bow river has dropped close too 6 inches and my grilfriend and i were happy too see there is close too a foot of visibility! the river should be fishing epic within the next week!! we did very well yesterday and we are off too the river after this post!!!!!
the last few weeks with most of the rivers blown out we have bin focusing our time on teh bow river targeting large browns on the nymph and streamer! some true lunkers have bin taken with a few fish in teh 25-28" range landed. we wont get into the fish that have got away ;) here are some photos from our past trips with friends and clients!

July was a interesting month on the bow. We had up and down weather lots of sunshine mixed with lots of rain but the bow did not dissapoint! We had many stellar days on walk and wading and floating the bow! the evening caddis fishing has bin stellar to say the least!!! here are a smattering of pictures from the past few weeks! enjoy!
