When I was young I was fishing where Fish Creek enters the Bow ( this was when it was outside the city limits
) and I caught a Brown that took me 3/4 of an hour to bring in with my fly rod. It was a real challenge for a 12 year old to release a big big hooked jaw Brown and not take it home to show my dad.
Dodger.
Side note: It sure was a great place to hunt ducks back then.
