We stopped for lunch where the Highwood River meets up with the Bow River and had a sandwich and then carried on. I switched Isabelle’s hook over to the Panther Martin Sonic Spinner and within twenty minutes she was into some smaller Rainbow’s. Today I was rowing the boat and guiding so my new fishing partner could pound out some of the Bow Rivers largest trout. A short time later she has a 23 inch big boy Rainbow on the end of her line. I’m telling you with the rite guide and the rite tackle, you can catch some extremely large fish on the Bow River. This is why people come from all over the world to fish the Bow River system, hard fighting large Brown and Rainbow trout.
Isabelle’s last fish of the day was a 23 inch Rainbow that probably weighed 5-7 pounds. She was kind enough to stop fishing for awhile and row the boat so I could at least save face and catch something over 20 inches. So if your wondering how the fishing is here on the Bow River system in October, it’s still very good. The pictures of our trip are in the photo gallery. Enjoy and I will keep you posted on my next journey down the Bow River.
