Barry Whites "My" Bow River, the bible for Bow River anglers has been out for a few years now, if you haven't read it yet, get a copy. It's so much more than just a guide to fishing the Bow, any fly angler is bound to learn something from Barry. The table of contents is 105 items long, everything from river history, fishing methods, flies access points and much more are covered. Having guided on the Bow for forty years Barry knows a thing or two about it.
