As a matter of fact when the Bow was more oligotrophic, the trout population and size was quite small. When my uncle was training at Curry Barracks during WW2, he used to fish pools in the Bow with hand grenades. The fish were always few and small.
As the Bow turned into a eutrophic river in a very short period of time the fish population blossomed.
As the Bow turns more eutrophic over the coming years, you will see the trout go away and the pike and walleye being primary feeders.
In fact you can see the eutrophication of the Bow quite well beyond Carseland.
