Hi I am fairly new to fly fishing and am heading to bow valley camp grond for the next week . I am just wondering what are some flys that work good for that area . I am all so taking my spinning rod if There are any good lures help would be appreciated. And I don't remember to well but I think there is a pond As you drive into the park is There fish in there and what's the name of the pond . Thanks :)

For flies use a hare's ear nymph, pheasant tail nymph, prince nymph and stonefly nymphs. Use a strike indicator about 9 feet up on your leader and make sure you have enough weight either with the flies, or by adding in a few small split shot to have your nymphs on the bottom. If your not snagging up from time to time on the bottom then your not deep enough.

For dries use any caddis patterns. Such as an elk hair caddis or a stimulator.

There is a pond in Canmore that has grayling in it. But I'm not sure if it's open this year as I heard they are doing work on the Spray Lake generating plant above it.
