The Bow River is Disgusting

[1stLand]

I know I am going to get flamed for this, but here it goes.

I have avoided going fishing in the Bow River for years because I hate fishing in the city and I also hate fishing in waters that has Water Treatment Effluent dumped into it.

I Fish Mountain Lakes, streams and creeks primarily.

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.
