Hello again from Calgary, Alberta Canada. It’s now the beginning of October and the fishing on the Bow River is still pretty good at this time. I went down to do some shore fishing and made out pretty good. I arrived at dusk or 6:35 pm and started out with the Blue Fox Minnow Spinner with no luck. I kept this lure on for about 15 minutes and then changed over to the Panther Martin Sonic Spinner. I often try new techniques when I am out on the water and tonight was no exception. I tied up the spinner (number 15 in size, yellow body with a silver blade) and proceeded to fire away at will.
I was casting upstream as far as I could cast and letting the lure bottom bounce along the river bed. As the lure was bouncing I would pull it off the bottom and let it bounce again. I would lift it off the bottom about 1-2 feet and then slowly reel it in towards the shore. On my third cast I hit a smaller Brown trout; he was oh about 13-15 inches but very feisty though. I proceeded downstream on the river using the same technique and then I smashed a 22 inch Rainbow trout from the slower moving water. I seemed as though this was the presentation they were looking for tonight.
