Hey John, glad to hear you are fishing once again, fun hey !!!!

In regards to your question, I try and keep my rod tip up high in the air to prevent the countdowns from diving too deep down and picking up weeds every cast. At this time of the year its usually clean as the cold has washed all the weeds away, but seeing as we have not seen the cold yet there is still tons of weeds on the shorlines and even on the bottom of the Bow River.

Try usuing Rapalas like the original floater as these lures don’t dive as deep as the Countdowns and still work as good when the water is shallow and there is lots of weeds.

Thanks for your comment and hope to hear from you again soon,

~Mike

Andrew my friend, its always good to fish with you. We need to hear the rushing of the water instead of the pounding of an air hammer more then we get a chance too. Sure glad we can hook into those big hogs in the Bow River while we are there.

I hope to see many more days out on the river with you.

Thanks,

~Mike.

Hey Guys, sorry for the slow response. Sebastian, its always good for me to get out fishing, its good for my soul. I have not used the tail dancers but I know if you did you would hook some serious fish with them. The minnow raps also look great but I have yet to fish them. I should give them a try soon. Yes we were just a little below the 22x bridge.

Thanks for the comment and your questions Sebastian, hope to see you out on the river also.

Hey Mike,

Love the site!!! I re-caught the fishing bug this year and havent been able to shake it. Thanks you for all the info this site has provided. I have a question about fishing the Bow this time of year:

When fishing holes such as 22x & southland I am pulling in weeds on every cast. I have landed one 21″ brown but the weeds are getting to me. I am using a cd-9 most of the time but have tried jerks as well. Is the a technique I should know to prevent from reeling in tons of weeds all of the time?

Thanks John

that was a good day, and one thing your readers may want to know is that we only go out for 3 or 4 hours and fish a few holes, then go home. That is so good for me, as i don’t overfish the bow in the spots i go to, and the wife lets me go when i want, it is a win win….lol ,,,,but i must say that fishing always takes my mind off of the everyday stressors of work, when i am on the river , whether it is in a boat or just on the shore, when i am done, even if i do not catch anything, i feel pretty good….just thought i would mention that

Well thats a bit better eh, how did it feel to get out fishing again? Just a few quick questions if u dont mind, were u using a brook trout rapala, and was that below the Hw2 bridge? Also have u ever tried the Rapala Tail Dancer, or Minnow Rap. They looked promising when I was at the tackel store and have pulled in a few fish but nothing like the Countdowns.

Thanks for your advice, and its good to see u out fishing the Bow.
