Broken Bow Fishing Reports

Fishing has been absolutely wonderful. Even a few big girls were brought to he net this week!!! Almost every fly is starting to hatch. March browns have been coming off, blue wing olives, Caddis and of course midges.

1 of many. Around 40 to the net and that many missed.

Around 40 to the net and that many missed.

Fishing this week has been good. Lots of bigger fish are finally making appearance!!! When it comes to big fish you just never know if they want a midge or a nice tied streamer!!!

Fishing has slowed down this week after all the fishing that was done over the holidays. It should pick back up next week for sure! It's streamer time so don't be afraid to throw some while you're here. If not think small like size 22 and 24 midges , small hairs ear in size 18 and small black stones size 14.

Another fantastic trip this morning. These two have never fly fished before and her they are with a couple of fish. Good job

Big girl this morning

Winter time think small. Size 22 zebra midge was the ticket this day. Fish are plentiful but you have got to use small flies this time of year. San Juan worm has been working with a midge on the back of it. Come fish with me!!!

Fishing has been very good. The rain cooled off the river to a nice 52 degrees. Perfect for trout fishing. This time of year there isn't much in the way of hatches however, midges are always present. Use a Manhattan midge in black of a miracle midge for the best action. Small nymphs such as 20 hair ear or pheasant tail. All of these flies have been working well.

Morning bite has been very good, as you can see by the photos! Been cold in the morning and afternoon has been pleasant. Fish eating eggs, midges and softhackles. October Caddis have been coming off along with Blue Wing Olives on cloudy days. Come fish with me the weather has been fantastic!!!

So far October has been great!!! Water is starting to cool off greatly. The weather has been chilly in the early morning and afternoon has been in the 80's. It will not be long before the absolute perfect time to fish this river!!! Clouds are starting to move in thank God! That means blue wing olives should start again soon. Caddis are still coming off for all you dry fly guys. Nothing like a take on the surface! Midges are still king this time of year nymphs are small, real small like 24's. Softhackle flies are still working size 16 and smaller, along with the Caddis pupa fly. Tight lines my friends!!!

This week I helped out the vets at project healing waters. What I do is take them fly fishing. It's a way to keep their mind off of their troubles. As you can see I put them on some fish. It was the least I could do for so many who help to keep America free!!! Thank you all who served!!!

Cooler weather in the morning has made it necessary to break out the waders. First time since early spring. This means the water temperature has dropped greatly. Fish are biting very good. Look for the iso hatch soon and a few PMD's. Caddis has always been a good fly for this river.

Many fish this morning all caught by this guy. He had a time of his life and never fly fished before. Good job my man!!!

Fishing is best in the morning. Watch river temps. Don't fish if the water temp is above 65 degrees. Midges, eggs, and softhackle flies work best.

Summer heat is here for sure!!! Fishing only in the early morning. Being on the river at 6:00 am and off by 10:00. Summer heat is not good for trout. They will die if water temps are above 70 degrees which is why it's early morning only. Go up in size of your tippet and get the fish in quickly. Revive them and let them swim away. Bite has been good in the early morning. Mainly midges, soft-hackles and Caddis with the occasional PMD still coming off. Come join me in the AM and spend the rest of the day on a river float.
