Gone Fishin – May

Well my fishing friends I made it to the Bow River on Friday May the 20 and the water was dirty and full of algae. I had a feeling that the river was going to be a little dirty but I did not know it was going to be that bad. The Bow probably will not be fishable for about 3-4 weeks for spin fishing but may be good for fly fishing as there is a major hatch coming off the river now.  I think it’s time to go fishing elsewhere as the Bow River cleans up. Even though the fishing was not good it was still nice to float down the river and get some peace and quiet. I’m now going to let the Bow clean up and focus my attention on other bodies of water around Calgary. Next stop will be Crawling Valley for the big Walleye and Pike that live here. After the Bow cleans up the Trout fishing will be awesome so I will keep you posted the next time I head out fishing.
