Hi, if you are kickin/fishing in our area this weekend check out the Lifesyle show at the Coleman arena...we have a booth there ..offering all kinds of great gear ..Hardy G.Loomis, Fishpond, Airflo....and free samples of big Al's salsa and pesto..mmmmm...crow is higher, viz 8", summit still  has ice probably a week away...Susan

April.

You guessed it...the melt has begun. Muddy in the Crow, Oldman not too bad below #22...Al's little black stones were the ticket...to say nothing of my wobbly eyed streamers....The cooler nights and upcoming lower temps will probably hold the run off thru this weekend...Summit lake B.C. still has a fair bit of ice, but I'll go on a limb to bet she's open by the first week in May. New Flies have arrived (have yet to open boxes!!)...Korkers in this week ,and new wear from Patagonia..ladies youga and running gear...open Wed_Sun 8-5 till june 11= 7 days/wk. Have fun! Susan

Two of the BWO boys visited last week set to enjoy the wonders of winter fishing on the Crow. Wellll..lets just say they were true troopers even in -25 C..yep got a wee bit cold out there,but they stuck to it...Al joined them on the first frosty day, fish and fun....so I strongly suggest we let the river snooze for awhile till this Feb snap is over ! Susan

Winter winds calmed enough to enjoy a great day on the Crow with Al yesterday. Checked out some water we both haven't fished for awhile...yep the big boys were active on both streamers and nymphs...turkey ,moose,  deer tracks abound.Rotating sales continue in the shop...all Chota boots 20% off...Susan

2014

Wishing everyone all the best this New Year.Perfect winter flyfishing conditions the past few days..and today is no exception! No wind,+1, sunny..yep nice day for the Crow. Keep it slow and steady.Happy New Year!!

winter

The changes we've seen on our streams, from the Oldman to the Castle after this years floods in July are turning into a blessing....yep lots of new holes ,pocket water and even the Crow has some completely new channels to explore.The open section of the Crow this winter has been fishing well,some of the newer runs are very productive and challenging! Best bet ,as always this time of year is to fish streamers and nymphs..but SLOWLY, and remember these low and clear waters require stealth. The fly shop has some exceptional sales ,up to 50% off ...for example the G.Loomis NRX 9' 5wt is now.just 550.00.Check out more info on the crowsnestcafeandflyshop facebook page. Wishing one and all a great and fun Christmas time and yep"tight lines in 2014. All the best, Susan
