Nice Browns! Southside I assume? Would you really eat a bow river fish south of Calgary? You might grow a third arm lol

Nice fish, there's some really nice trout in that river!

Just as a side note, not trying to stir anything up here, but it can be hard on the fish when you lay them on the snow like that. Snow and dry ground removes their protective slime, which can leave them vulnerable to disease. Still some nice fish though, just a pointer for next time.

x2 Thanks for mentioning, I was just about to do the same.

This is pertinent information for a river like the Bow.

Still nice pics and thanks for posting.

Nice fish, i have yet to catch a brown since i don't fish rivers or streams. It will be a goal of mine to get one this year. Since I don't fly fish, sounds like raps is the way to go.
