Imagine what a great fishery on bull trout and perhaps western cutthroat we could have had if these introduce species were not there?

The Brown trout is a species with high tolerences to pollution unlike many trout species.
Now your trying to turn back time and ask 1million people to leave Calgary to get back the Bow to spring creek water qualities to allow cutties and bulliesto exsit
With a magic wand you can elimiate the Browns and stock BILLIONS of cutties and bullies into the Bow.......i'd be intrested to hear what scientist will say that would be success.....without deporting the million people from Cowtown.
We differ of opinion......whether by luck or the grace of God the introduction of a non native species like the Brown to the Bow has been a tremendous success........without them we would have a much lesser fishery.
