Default What fly pattern is working on the bow rate now?
Hi I'm going down to the bow today and was wondering what flys are working rate now on the bow river.

Try using a large San Juan Worm with prince nymph, pheasant tail, or gold ribbed hare's ear dropper (about a #14).

Also try a peacock leech (Fishtales has them). Those things are deadly year round on the Bow, and everywhere else I've tried them. Fish them as a dropper and make sure you let them swing and dangle, like a streamer. Best of luck.

Last time I went out I was using a Size 4 SJW and a size 18 Cronimid and did really well on it.
