The Crowsnest:

The Crowsnest is lookin’ pretty juicy right now, water levels are back down and it’s running clear. The Caddis and Mayflies are hatching, and it sounds like some Golden Stones have been spotted here and there. A dry dropper rig would be great for searching for fish right now if you aren’t seeing consistent rising, if you do run into a pod of rising fish, they like long leaders and light tippet down there. Keep your Caddis or PMD’s on the smaller side and you might coax them eat a couple! If you head down, I hope you have a great weekend!

The Oldman:

The Oldman is running clear but still a little high, and water temps are quite low still. This means fish will be more active later in the day when the water warms up a little. I would start the day with a nymph rig for the deeper holes or throw a streamer deep and slow to try and get a hungry bull. As is it warms up you can stitch do a dry dropper rig or go straight dries if you are seeing rising fish. It’s mostly going to be PMD’s in the heat of the day and they also love some Purple Haze down there. Good Luck if you head down this weekend, and report back!

Safety Considerations:

• It's that time of year where the bears start to wake up, I'd bring your bear spray along just to be safe.
• Make sure you have good footing when wading in cloudy conditions, and don't wade to deep, the current is strong and you could lose your footing.
