Out of boredom I tried the Bow River this evening and I feel like I need to scrub my Fishing Rod and Line and Flies in a vat of bleach.
The Bow River smelled disgusting, and holy smokes is it ever filled with mud, weeds and slime.
I don't know how some of you boys do it.

Yep, I hear you. Red Deer below Red Deer...same. But fishing was great.
Like you, I prefer the clean mountain rivers. That is why I put more time on the Highwood. Who wouldn't want crystal clear, of course. But there are huge pigs in there that will keep me coming back to the Bow. God bless it
Oh, and check this post out... I think you will find the reasoning
