Gone Fishing – May

Well I’m happy to say that I was out on the Bow River floating this past weekend and had a very successful trip. Finally the wind had died down enough so I could float without paddling all the way down the river. The last two times I went out was a complete disaster because the wind was so bad it was blowing me back upstream. Note to self, when it gets really windy stay home and work on the Blog. It’s May now and the water levels are starting to rise as we are getting ready for the run off here on the Bow. I noticed that they have opened the weir at Memorial Drive so we should start to see the run off happen very soon. I took a friend out on the Bow River this past Sunday May 8, 2006 and it was the first time he had ever floated the Bow River. I was hoping he was going to catch himself his first Bow River Trout but it just was not his lucky day. We floated from the Glenmore Trail Bridge to Policeman’s flats on a beautiful sunny spring day
