Chatted with a fisherman at the Beaver Mines store yesterday and asked him how the fishing was . Said It was poor and I commented that now , {after Sept 1 } that all fishing in the Castle River area is catch and release , correct ? .. To which he replies that it has been that way here all season , not just after Sept 1. He indicated he was a member of the Calgary Hook and Hackle club , I was in a hurry and didn't want to argue but I don't read the regs the same as him . What's your take ?

He might be talking about the suggestion made by SRD that anglers use catch and release this whole season down South due to the issues of the flood?

I go there every summer. This year was same as last 3 yrs. I've noticed quite a trend. And I could be wrong. But doubt it. Quite a few local folk park just before campground, fill buckets, leave. Repeat next day. This is just what I have seen, and it goes on all day long. Everyday. Same trucks, same peeps.
Still love the place though.
Beaver Mines Store, best sammies this side of texas:) ok, that's a stretch...but nummy nummy:)

What do you mean by fill buckets?
