River Fishing Near Calgary?

Gonna be chilly tomorrow, but you can definitely catch fish in the bow.

The Bow just isnt a place that is very harvest friendly.

After going out 3 times now and not getting so much as a bite, even if we caught a couple tiny throw-back fish, that would be awesome.

in calgary you won't catch any small throw back fish. I have fished it for over ten years and the smallest one I trout hooked was 16 inches. This time of year you'll get some big boys if you get in the right places. Good luck

From what u have said this is what I would suggest..... Yes go to the bow... Work on the rust... Practice the cast... Probably catch some trout to be proud of ... But leave the idea of a harvest for another day another place ... Trust me you'll have a great time unless u plan on being fed from the river.....it's not a bunny hugging thing or a pitch to save the river it's more like u are not likely to catch a fish small enough to be legal size let alone ( as jacenbeers stated) choke down that huge tiny trout

1. The reg's for the Bow are not harvest friendly.

2. I tried a couple whitefish from the Bow before and they were soft and fishy.

I'm not too worried about whether or not the fish are 'dirty' or contaminated with mercury, I just want them to taste good.

Maybe if you put enough spices on them you can choke them down.
