The Crowsnest:

The water levels are right where they ought to be, and the fishing has been pretty good! Most of your surface action is on little Beetles, Ants, or small Grasshoppers patterns fished with a long leader, and as light of tippet as you can go. If they aren’t rising you can always go down and find them with some small BWO nymph imitations like a Anatomical BWO, Theo’s Bead Head, or size 18 Pheasant Tail. And if that doesn’t get them, the Worm, a Balanced Leech, or Dee's Water Boatman should do the trick! The weather this weekend looks grim, but the fish love a nice overcast day and tend to be less spooky when the sun isn't out. Good luck if you head down this weekend!

The Oldman:

The water temps are dropping pretty good overnight and the fishing is definitely slower in the mornings so keep that in mind if you are heading down for the weekend or a day trip. They may not be too keen to rise on dries until the mid-afternoon. Nymphing some BWO and general Baetis patterns or Water Boatman should work pretty good for you earlier in the day. The Bulls are still eating quite aggressively, but they have started to move up river so if you are chasing them, be willing to move spots if you aren’t finding any action. Good luck this long weekend folks!

Safety Considerations:

• Bears are out in full force, keep an eye out for berry patches, and they can find there way down to the water in the heat of the day. 
• Stay hydrated in this heat, the cramps and headaches can sneak up on you pretty quick.
