BigFoamy - hope he pulls through OK. I'll be hugging the kids extra tomorrow...life can definetly change so quick!

Ya I'm not sure what they were eating...I had a limited selection of flies in my "lunchtime at work emergency fly fishing kit" - had my money on streamers and a couple dries as backup. Nothing visible on the surface or in the air except for snowflakes, some of them did a small splash (you could hear them good) and a few did a slowish head, back and tail rise. Got a good view of some of them and they were good size trout - not small splashy ones, although it sounded like that at times. Seen a definite larger rainbow and a smaller brown (yellowish telltale markings). That's the other question I guess - is that common to have rainbows and browns feeding in the same seam? Hindsight is 20-20 but maybe I should have tried a dry with a trailing emerger or a nymph then. Are there any backswimmers in the Bow downtown/above the weir? I find the Bow downtown less silty and the rocks seem cleaner compared to the lower sections past the wastewater treatment plants. And hey - I wouldn't feel dirty if I were you! - nothing wrong with catching fish like that!

Was fishing downtown today at lunchtime and had a bunch of fish in front of me eating something subsurface I think. No fishing rising when I got there, I had passed through a nice run with a streamer - no takers...then all of a sudden fish all through the run were rising. I tied on a small BWO and EHC (with frozen fingers) but had no interest, even the insulting rise right next to your fly but no take. I was even getting bold and dropping it right on their heads - they just kept feeding. Any ideas on what it would be? The run is at the end of a long shallow river rock flat and drops off to a nice deep section but the run is we'll defined - like a funnel.

That was awesome - well done!

Hey, haven't posted on here in ages...dying to get out on the Bow one of these days - kids and work always seem to be happening. I always manage to get some fishing in while in NB though. These pictures are from my favorite pool on the South Branch of the Big Sevogle on the Miramichi. All three fish were caught on a white calf tail green machine. The grilse was tagged and cooked with fiddle heads and a nice cold Alpine.

...tried looking on the city's website but found nothing. I think it stays open too. I was parked there last year and was fishing late-late and was the last vehicle in the lot (was worried I'd have to smash through the gates). Gates weren't locked and drove out. Phone 311, maybe they can confirm it. I don't think there is a sign driving in with times or anything.
