oagie Posted May 7, 2010 Posted May 7, 2010 How is the bow river for clarity with all this crazy weather this last week. I have been terribly busy getting ready for a move and have not been able to get out for a drive and check if any of the creeks / rivers are blown out yet and muddied up the bow.. How's it looking, my brother is coming in Saturday for a weekend float. Quote

CDone Posted May 8, 2010 Posted May 8, 2010 With the new storm water collection diversions coming on line I'm sure that we will see more consistent water conditions over the next few years. Colin Quote
ladystrange Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 i've been on the river a few times this week. still a little silty but not bad over all. vis from 6 inches to 5 feet depending on where you are. Quote

jriad Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Not that this is runoff yet but I've heard two opinions on fishing during runoff: 1. Don't waste your time, too murky. 2. If you skip runoff you could be missing some good fishing. Is the second true by fishing the banks? Quote
Hawgstoppah Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Most of the best fishing I have EVER had has been while others have said "don't waste your time" and while fly shops are cancelling their trips. Fish slack water near the banks. You may have to work hard and do some walking to find SLACK water... but you can find it... it's there. and when you do find it fish a big black stone / black leech in it... you'll be suprised what goes on Quote

Hawgstoppah said it right, big and dark, tight to tha banks in slack water. Probably something thats gonna push a lot a water so it can be heard. Ive used bowriver buggers, dark clousers, huge woolies and #2 all black cone head muddlers. I m no pro but it worked for me 2 years ago. No runoff lastyear much. Quote
fishfreak Posted May 17, 2010 Posted May 17, 2010 don't forget the big sanjuan worms during runoff! Quote
