Thanks you very much for all the replies. I'm going to go out tomorrow morning and give it another go.

I finally got out this morning for my first time on the Bow. It was quite the humbling experience. I tried the 2 nymph set up described by Rickr and San Juan. Spent a ton of time trying to adjust my split shot and strike indicator. There is sure alot to learn about "nymphing". There were lots of caddis' flying around but nothing rising. I imagine this doesn't happen til the sun goes down. There river had about 3 foot visibilty down by Fish Creek/ 22x

Thanks a bunch. I'm gonna give this set up a go tomorrow. Any ideas on which flies i should be trying ?

Thanks for the tips guys ! I just finished reading the nymphing primer with your nymphing for dummies at the end, SJW. I think this info will help a ton. My next question is how far up from the first fly would I put a split shot.

I'm a long time lurker and first time poster. I just moved from Grande Prairie to Calgary a few weeks ago and decided to get back into flyfishing after a 20 year break. I have never fished with dry flies or nymphs and was wondering if someone knows of a good book for nymph fishing ? It sounds like that is the way to go on the Bow from what I've read. I grew up on the west coast in Terrace, fishing for salmon and steelhead with streamers. It sounds like dries and nymphs are way more technical, but i would love to learn. Thanks for any help. This site is awesome and has lots of great info.

I'm new to the forum so hello to everyone. I'm in the market for a new rod and was looking at a Snowbee 9ft 4wt at South Bow yesterday. Does anyone have any experience with these rods or recommend something they prefer. I will be using this rod mostly for the mountain streams west of Calgary, occasionally the Crowsnest and the Elk. Thanks for any info.
