I've never caught a bull on the Bow but know those who have. They're not that common and are a protected species, thus all the hype about knowing the species and releasing them. The Bow is a funny river. You can get a surprise sometimes. Not only are there rainbows, browns and bulls, there's also pike, burbot, whitefish and even lake trout. Lakers escape from ghost lake when they open the dam and are in the Bearspaw Reservoir. Then when they open up the bearspaw dam they flow into the river. I have heard of all the species I listed caught below the Bearspaw dam and into bowness. So anything is possible I suppose.
