  Fly River
The river drains southward, descending through a narrow canyon thinly mantled with gravel, and emerges as a sand bedded river that crosses a low-relief but highly dissected plain (the Fly Platform) of uplifted Quaternary sediments to the Gulf of Papua.
Blake and Ollier (1971) proposed that the sedimentation along the Fly River (Fly and Strickland) kept pace with Holocene sea level rise and that this sedimentation led to blocking of lowland tributaries and lake formation.
Fly delta mangrove deposits are comprised of three facies: 1) a massive, bioturbated, clay-rich mud, 2) a thinly laminated sandy mud, and 3) a coarsely bedded sand (Walsh and Nittrouer, 1998b).

The Bow River has a city and an international community full of adoring fans and intimate friends who have tales and stories of days spent adrift with fish emptying their reels, screaming away from its pursuer.
There is no other river quite like the Bow: one would be hard pressed to think of anywhere else in the world that you can enjoy a gourmet meal in one of Calgary's many fine restaurants and within an hour be catching some of the finest and wildest trout available anywhere.
Successful Bow River fly fishermen aren't closed~minded to new tricks or new methods; adaptability and willingness to change will see dramatically different results: when the fish are rising it is dry flies; when they aren't it's time to chose from an accepted set of nymphs or streamers chosen by guides from their years of experience.

 ADIRONDACK FLY FISHING - Ausable River
The gradient (the river drops in elevation nearly 4,000 feet over a forty mile distance), along with many water falls and deep holding pools, provide plenty of places for the fish to take refuge during the winter months and hot periods of summer.
But to the pleasure of the most dedicated of fly fishers, miles of fast, tumbling, pocket water provide much cover and protection so there is always a heavy population of fish including a good number of lunker trout in the two to five pound class.
Fishermen travel from all over to be on the river during this hatch and if you've never seen the drake hatch when the spinners come back in the evening to lay their eggs, then you haven't experienced the greatest thrill of fly fishing.

With a drag-free drift, allow the flies to pass the spot and don't pick up until well clear of it, as a trout may follow your fly downstream before taking it.
Using the same fly or bait rig, position your boat midstream, cast close to shore and allow the rig to drift downstream naturally.
