Weedy1 Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 "The New Fly Fisher" TV show has an episode today called "Hoppers on the Bow". I recall a rather heated thread on the subject some time ago. Should be interesting to see what they have to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adc Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Got times and stations, Weedy?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weedy1 Posted December 8, 2007 Author Share Posted December 8, 2007 It was on the Canadian Learning Channel, 103 in Edmonton. Didn't catch the time. I record them on my computer and once it's finished recording the time doesn't show up anymore. If you can accept a 1.5 Gb email I'll send it to you, I doubt it though. Nice to see you back around this joint ADC. How was your season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weedy1 Posted December 8, 2007 Author Share Posted December 8, 2007 Great year for me, finally got down south to fish some waters in the Crow area. The fire ban was on though so most of the waters I wanted to fish were not accessible. Fishing around Edmonton wasn't as good as last year for quantity although the size of the fish was up. Met some good people this year that I look forward to fishing with next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Was it a new episode? I have a DVD from season 1 of "The New Fly Fisher" called "Bow River Hopper & Dropper Fishing". It was filmed in Terry Johnson's boat with David Blair (the boys from Fishtales). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weedy1 Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 I'll have to watch it again but I don't think the guys verified they caught any of the fish on the hopper patterns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toolman Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I'd love to see that episode sometime. Terry's a great fisherman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I'll have to watch it again but I don't think the guys verified they caught any of the fish on the hopper patterns. Colin: "At one point we had a strike on every 3rd cast on the hopper." Colin: "On the hopper, that's the biggest rainbow I've ever caught". and then later on in the episode Colin again "On the double hopper rig!" The highlight that I heard from the show, (from a buddy who watched it today)... One of the anglers says "Sure are a lot of Stoneflies out today".....really?.... no kiddin'.....LOL! You can't just make *hit up to prove your point, LOL. I'll drop my copy off at fishtales for your viewing pleasure. The Bow sure was low and weedy that year, the south side looked like it didn't even have flowing water in some sections. It must have been a great year! Something they repeated several times in that video was "the majority of hoppers on the Bow are bright green, brown, and olive but it is more important to match the size and silhouette of the terresterials than the color."8 Brent, maybe you'll have to come and float the bow more than once this year.

Maybe someone could give me a hint on where the fish are too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
