Unfortunately not many people are willing to give you an exact spot to fish . Anglers like to keep locations secret to protect the fish from over fishing and to protect the anglers own pyivacy.
I have never fished this creek but I would start by getting a map or use google earth and fish an area that has a few bends in it an cast at every downed tree and undercut bank I see.

Good luck.

old thread, new guy, epic, look up in regs.

I'm quite content with the bow getting all the attention. Peronally I like the smaller streams. Feels more like a mountain stream and to get that right in my city is wonderful. I hear a lot of guys say why both when the bow is right beside it but I guess each to there own. I will choose a creek over a big river anyday

Hi all,

Been looking online and cannot find any dates for when Fish Creek opens... checked here and did not find the fish creek streams:

Well, we debated this last night, I said that in the regs, some sections of the Bow include tribs, but for some reason the section through the city does not. My brother thought it was implied that tribs are included, meaning Fish Creek would be open right now. I thought that meant it fell under the "other flowing waters" or whatever, meaning closed until June 15.

That's too bad cuz I found a beautiful deep hole with lots of fish in it. Dropped my GoPro in there, at least 10-20 beautiful bows, 20" and more

Fish Creek is indeed very closed...need some rain to help the Rainbows out! Watched a Coyote trying to catch a fish downstream of Macleod Tr the other day, pretty cool to see!

I'm going to need to know exactly where, you know, for science.

Hey in regards to fish creek there is a volunteer opportunity to help with habitat restoration for some of the flood damage on April 23-24. Check out Trout Unlimited Canada Bow River Chapter for more info.

Yes fish creek is closed till June 15th. It falls under provincial parks. I had to talk to fish and wildlife to figure it out because I heard way too many opinions

[Mattchat12]

Which stretch of fish creek is generally the best I haven't fished it since the flood and just wanna explore it. The bow is getting to repetitive for me.
