Lions and Tigers and Bears OH MY!
 

We've had enough rain lately to dirty the river, if not bust the
drought. But, hopeful, I drove down to look, thinking I might test
a snow bunny GWG pattern.

I never rigged a rod, too muddy, but I did take a bit of a walk.

There was a new ( since I was on this section last ) sign
conspicuously posted warning that a Mountain Lion was known to be in
the area ( a nasty blackberry riparian jungle ) and to exercise care
since they are 'unpredictable'

Kinda cool

wilderness )

Are you going to Alberta to fish this summer?

I "think" so Fred. But plans and I have never gotten along well and
even less so since I retired. I tend to go where and when the mood
strikes me. Last year I moved around more than in the previous
seasons partly because my bride joined me and there was a need to keep
her entertained and partly because my new truck makes pulling the
trailer through the mountains much more pleasant.

I've never fished the Crowsnest or the Bow or the Raven or the etc
etc but I've never fished lots of places. The choice between
possible new flame and old loves is one I usually decide in favor of
the known and cherished.

I WILL ( god willin and all ) get to Craig and the Missouri for a
couple weeks and that is pretty damn close to the Calgary to Carseland
(sp?) section of the Bow that I most covet to add to my list.

I have fished the Bow, Crowsnest and Oldman Rivers
The Oldman , I think, is the prettiest. - IMO
The Bow goes right thru the city of Calgary and altho I have fished it
successfully
I do not wanrt to be near a city and Calgary keeps growing.

If you do deside to fish the Crowsnest or any oother Alberta Rivers
I live not too far fro the Canada Border 40 -60 miles or so to Libby MT or
Troy- so let me know
and perhaps fish on your way.

The Yaak river calley is remote and pretty

The only time I ever head of the Bow was a story in ........ F&S or
one of the magazines about the HUGE catfish found in the tailwaters of
a small dam in the city center. The story had no mention of trout.
Must have been a transplanted Texan.

cheers

In the Bow thru the city of Calgary 8-10 yrs ago
There were quite a few healthy rainbow trout.
I can attest to that!
and
when I left I did not lessen the hearty population.
However, the explosion of human habitat and population growth may have
adversely affected the Bow???
