dipperdan Posted November 23, 2004 Author Share Posted November 23, 2004 Rich was King for the day ,he was the fish master with a brown and a couple of rainbows . He was using a Wired San Jaun Worm . <_ src="http://nlft.org/forum/uploads/emoticons/default_clap.gif" alt=":clap:"> Paul came in a second with two quick rainbows on our way back to the van, using a black wolley bugger with a flashy butt. Vince was using streamers and caught a 16" rainbow I think there were witnesses using a bow river muddler. AND I WAS SKUNKED I was showin the guys where the fish were , you know the guide. Not sure what photos were taken , Paul had a BEAUT of a Bow on 20"+, but just before I was coming to snap a shot he rolled and got away. It's true!! . We did our fishin down from Police Man's flat . The day was Great and the weather cooperated . Ya the company was ok. Have to check it out again and again and again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacres Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Thanks for the report. You guys sure picked a great day to get out on the bow. Too bad you got skunked Dan. Hope the trip was still worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulf Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Good post Dan It was a rainbow and a brown that was caught and the one that got away was a brown as well. But you know what, it really doesnt matter, it was fun being on the water with fellow fishers. The timing was perfect, drove all the way to Calgary just to get a ralphie . The end to a perfect day of . Dan somehow lost his pink thingie......(aka hot pants)? He doesnt know when. A big honkin san juan worm was the answer today. Simple little(big) hook wrapped with nothing but red wire. I had success with the obpt nymph and the crystal bugger. Tries numerous other patterns as well, but no luck. It was fun experimenting. Thanks Vince, Rick and Dan for a great day on the water. Paulf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Dan, Rick and Paul Had a great day on the water guys - good fishing, good buddies, lots of laughs and a good time on the river. Fishing the Bow was a hoot and catching a Bow Bow on a Bow Bugger just made my day. Paul, I told you that big uguly bugger you found a while ago was going to be a winner and yes I was there to see the big Brown before you allowed him a long line release. Guys, I had a great time - thanks for the company. Thanks for driving Dan. Lets not forget what we talked about on the drive home...next year - small water for a few days...maybe on Vince Creek.

DennisS Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Glad you Guys had a great day. just a comment on the San Jaun worm my buddy a couple of years ago used a size 6 3x long hook wrap with nothing other that copper wire and red paint head and he just killed the rainbows that day. He must of caught 6 or 7 16 to 23 inches on that thing. So in can see your San Jaun working. We were fishing the same area.
