I'm going to have to catch up with you out there one of these summers Gary

The bow river isn't really any better during winter than the rest of the year (fishing wise), the fish are just holding in different water and there tends to be a lot of them congrugated in those waters. Its one thing to say I'm going fishing in -5 but getting out there is another story. The coldest day I fished in was -15 last year and it was definitely tough. Freezing guides, frozen reel, frozen waders, and the worst frozen laces, I couldn't get my boots off for a while, I had to melt the ice off with my lighter. You must also have to think of all the hazards while fishing during the winter months. Frostbite is an easy one, stripping in wet line can get you fingers pretty cold pretty quick. You also have to be aware slips, as snow starts to collect on your felt on your boots, any bit of ice seems like you just stepped on some serious slick oil! Chunks of ice floating down the river as well can be very hazardous, as if your not paying attetion and a large peice of ice comes floating right at you, you can find yourself in some trouble. But anyway if you do head out dress warm, wear thermals if you got them and as for your hands go and buy some of those glove warmers and keep them in your either in your gloves or in your pockets. And there allready seems to be some good fishing tips on here so I'll leave it at that.

great report and even sweeter pics! Nice job guys! Sorry about your shin rick!

Sweet Picks dude! We were wondering how your trip was going, and seems everything is going stellar!

Once you start tying, your whole world pretty much goes to fly fishing! *L* Head out fishing and see a nymph and then you'll be at the vise that night! go out shopping and you'll find yourself looking at stuff that you can use for tying! Its on now dude!! Congrats on the tie!

welcome aboard dude!

Nice Shot Ed, Check these ones out!

Great find !! I just lost my bottle to and have been waiting to hit the fly shop to pick some up! New Plans! Thanks!

that was without a doubt......painful

Hope everything goes well for ya dude! Speedy recovery man!

spring summer fall winter, for the last 2.5yrs

I would like to see someone do the multipled roll casts with a triple nymph setup!

would have made me laugh if he got pulled over for speeding!

I have to fish when I can due to the inconsistency in my schedule. Sometimes I put in very long days, get up at five on the river till twelve, be at work by 3pm, and in some cases worked till three am.

Looks like fun, as long as there was no other traffic on the road!

Click here if the movie does not play.

Nices pics dude, definitely looks like you still had some good days out!

Happy B day man, hope its a good one!

Nice report man! How far off was that griz

Well I think that just what we're going to do, thanks for the advise guys! Now I have some planning to do!

Last time when my 3 broke at the tip, it was midway through the day and deciding not to pack it in and I decided that I could still roll cast with it and that turned out to be a bad idea as the 2 male ferrule broke inside the 3rd female as well as formed a crack, and then I had to bring in three peices to get fixed

Nice report man, what were you guys using up there?

I guess the concensus is a little torn as well, 10 and 10?
