".the Bow River has for decades been luring fly-rodders to its banks as surely as trout rise to a fly. In this history of the river and its anglers, acclaimed outdoor writer Jim McLennan traces the ancient, glacial origins of the river and follows it to the modern day, where the chance combination of natural and man-made elements has transformed the Bow into one of the world's finest trout fisheries. From there he examines the impact of human activity on the river and offers guidance on how to preserve the only premier trout stream in North America to flow through a major city." "Jim McLennan's Blue Ribbon Bow is an informative and well-written profile of a great trout fishery. You'll want to read his book - then you'll want to fish his river." (Dave Hughes). Chapters include:- The whole of the Bow; A history of the Bow River valley; A history of the Bow River trout fishery; The Bow River trout fishery today; Fishing the Bow River; The Upper Bow River; The Middle and Lower Bow River; Fly patterns; The state of the Bow River trout fishery. .
