Lure Fishing the Lower Bow River

This past weekend, I had my good friend Rob Clarke come down from Edmonton to fish with me. Rob brought his friend Ron with him on this adventure. Ron has not fished the Bow River in almost twenty years, so to say he was excited is an understatement!

As some of you may know, I started my own little fishing lure business this spring. I called it Robertson Tackle, and you can find the ecommerce website here. I was excited to let both Rob and Ron try the 3.5 inch crank baits and the 4.7 inch lures as they work extremely well. The “Raunchy Rainbow” was producing very well on both days of our trip, as was the “Bad Brown” color pattern. Under clear skies and clean water conditions, natural color patterns are key!

We had a complete blast on both days of our trip, producing great fish and enjoying many laughs along the journey. It was great to meet Ron and get him onto some great trout the Bow River has to offer. The boys went back up to Edmonton with a smile on their faces!

Thanks for the great laughs and the epic memories gentlemen.
