Fly fishing the Bow River Golden Stonefly hatch

The golden stoneflies are one of the premiere hatches on the Bow River in Calgary, Alberta. Stoneflies are nocturnal when they emerge and big brown and rainbow trout will feed aggressively on these large bugs. This video shows how aggressive these fish can be when targeting this hatch an also the quality of trout in the Bow river water system.

Hey thanks @bernabemanzon5915 for watching and glad you like the video. That’s great that you took up the sport and have been catching some big fish, the bow river is an amazing fishery. I am always game to go fishing. You can message me on instagram @flyfishing_paradise when the weather gets better.
If you want something a bit more formal I also guide and have a 4 hr walk and wade where I teach about entomology, the different techniques and how to read big water like the Bow river.
I have a few videos that I will be posting soon so keep watching. Take care.

Great videos! What time of year do the golden stones typically hatch on the bow?

[@flyfishingparadise9192]

The hatch typically starts around the mid of June and goes until around middle of July. You can also fish it into August when the females start laying eggs on the water.
