Hey guys,
So I have been out of town for the better part of three weeks now and I am suppose to come home next week and I haven't seen flowing water or temperature above -20 in a while and im starting to go a little crazy...
What I am wondering is how the bow has been fishing?? What is the clarity like? is it high? Any dry fly action as of yet?
Basically do I have anything to look forward too?? haha
This is what ive been doing for the last couple weeks... cold, white and lots of fun but time to come home ! !

I have been using the Canon D20 and it is amazing ! Excellent quality on pics and vid(1080pHD). I highly recommend it.

Hey guys,
Really appreciate all the feed back but i decided to save my money and buy the G3 guide not convertible. They fit better on me and i think they will be more apropriate to my type of fishing. If its too hot, ill just wet wade like i have been doing anyway !
Cheers

Great info Sean ! I will definately look into that but i dont remember the back strap feeling uncomfortable when i tried them !

Hello all,
I am reaching out for your expert opinion ! I would like to know what you guys think of the Simms convertible G3 guide waders.
They seem to be a pretty good pair of waders to me but considering the $$, i want to make sure im making the right move !
Thanks ahead for your input !
Cheers,
SImon

Cheers

Hey,
Seems like you were using the right stuff there last night. I have only been skunked twice this year and i fished all of february, march and april all on nymphs. Chironomids in the small size and hares ears have done it for me using SWJ wire or big stone nymph to get down fast. As for rises, I have come across a few BWO hatches even mid day but didnt hook anything on dries yet...ill wait for the caddis to come out.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Simon

Thanks Guys !

I think its a great river ! I am a huge fan of birding as well so I am well served with all the eagles, ducks, etc. Definately has its challenges which is good, it keeps you thinking ! Now that i feel somewhat comfortable on the Bow i really want to start exploring mountian streams and alpine lakes.

Yes I love how some of them are really silver and others bright gold !

Yes that's right ! I have almost been living in Calgary for a year and I just caught my first Brown Trout yesterday ! SO here is the story...I am from eastern Canada where trout rivers are not very aboundant...more used to Bass fishing or pike ....Anyway, a year ago when i moved here the Bow was quite itimidating, fast flowing and had no idea where fish would be...So needless to say that last summer, i caught three rainbows....
Not gonna lie, I thought flyfishing was gonna be over for me before it started....then came winter blues.... I started tying and really doing my homework. Fished the end of January and all of march and was quite succesful, LOTS of rainbows and whites but still ..... no ....brown....
My luck finally switched last monday, I hooked into a pig of a brown that put on a pretty good aerial show before running like ive never seen before and headed straight for a run .... instead of running after it, I froze and it broke off...I shed a tear...
Then it wasnt until yesterday that my dreams finally came true ! I caught my first brown, not very big but what a beautiful fish !!
I can offically say that im hooked for life !
Thanks for reading
Simon

I'm running a TFo TiCr in an 8wt and love it! It will chuck big streamers in gale winds as I found out on the bow a couple weeks back. It also won't break the bank. The action is very fast which I like but I know it's not for everyone.
Cheers
