Bow River Fishing Report July 8, 2011
The Bow River is coming alive now fishing friends. Rapala’s and other such crankbaits are working very well for those who spin fish the river. The water clarity is approximately 4-5 feet which is ideal to fool larger trout the Bow River has to offer. The river is flowing very quickly with some trees and other debris moving down the river. Use caution at all times, keep your eyes peeled for hazards! Bottom bouncing spinners will also prove very effective for fish hanging close to the bottom. The best lures to use are the one’s I supply on my guided fishing trips to float the Bow River. I still have the last weekend of July available for those interested in a guided float fishing trip. The water will still be high and the trout will still be very hungry.
The best fishing spots on the Bow River are from my 16 foot Saturn inflatable which will reach all prime fishing locations along the premier lower stretch of the river. In the next two weeks the river will fish the best. The run off will end in the next 5-10 days and the fishing will be the best we have seen in several years. You won’t want to miss the boat this season in July. Now is the time to fish the Bow River friends. Ten to fifty fish in a six hour float is very possible right now. That is NOT a typo, fifty fish is very possible!
Hope to see you in the boat very soon.

Too bad your site has changed from just helping everyday anglers get better at fishing the bow to peddling your guiding business. Would be nice to hear some reports on new gear and different tactics for fishing the bow maybe some more fishy stories. Some new videos would also be nice. Just my 0.02 cents.
Hope you have a good season
Cheers,
Hey Sebastian, I’m not peddling anything. I am merly promoting my business as a guide which plays a big part of putting food on my table. I will also be putting up some product reviews shortly on some new cool double jointed crankbaits that should work well on the Bow River. That will be a video product review so stay tuned for that.
As always, thanks for your input. Hope you are doing well.
Cheers,
~Mike
