Blue Ribbon Bow : A Fly-Fishing History Of The Bow River - Canada's Greatest Trout Stream

In this history of one of North America’s most celebrated trout waters, veteran angler and guide Jim McLennan explores the Bow River from its Ice Age beginnings to its present-day renown. He charts the river’s course from its alpine headwaters in the Rockies, through the foothills, and out across the prairie, showing how geology, climate, and human intervention have together shaped an extraordinary cold-water fishery.

Practical instruction is woven throughout. Drawing on decades of experience, the author offers considered advice on tackle, seasonal tactics, fly selection, and presentation, tailored to the Bow’s varied stretches and hatches.
