A few little trout May 21st
« on: May 22, 2006, 11:04:57 AM »
Howdy fishers, a quick report from the wrong side of the rockies  ;)

I haven't had much time to get out fishing, so yesterday at 7:30 when I got a phone call to go out to the mighty bow for some trout, I couldn't say no!  The river is up now because of run off, but still about 2 feet vis.  However, with the water rising, the fish were defininately off.  So I nymphed for a few hours with no luck, then when the clouds rolled in and the caddis started coming off the water I noticed some fish rising right next to me.  So on went a caddis and a stimulator, and within 2 casts I had that fish...

one hour passed and I noticed another fish rising further down my run, and 3 casts later, fish on and landed  ;D

Finally, it was almost time to leave because it was so hot out and my waders didn't make it any cooler... and finally I noticed another fish rising, this time fist cast, and this thing was a much bigger one, and really acrobatic.  Unfortunatly it came off near shore... so I didn't get a tape on it.  ???  oh well.

heres the second fish... 22.5 inches.  Not a bad days procrastination.

Very nice Rainbow!

I've drifted the Bow River, and those acrobatic strong-pulling rainbows make it easy to understand why the Bow is a world-class river.  You're very lucky to have that gem running right through town.  I'd love to go back there again...my 5wt got a real good workout last time with monster bows and browns.

LOL...are you for real?  That river is so loaded with fish you could plop an indicator(or a dryfly as an indicator like a Stimulator) and a mico caddis pupa and catch fish every hundred feet or so.  ...or were you being sarcastic?
