I wouldn't eat anything from the bow below bearspaw.
Browns are everywhere, just check it out, and fish the 'fishy' areas of the stream where the fish are holding. The bow isn't an easy fishery, if you are having a lot of trouble, try hiring a guide for a 1/2 or full day to help you learn.

For browns you can eat, try ghost res.

As for blue ribbon, Pabst aint nothin to write home about.

If you read the reg's you'll see that you can only keep browns under 35cm from the Bow.

That is a tiny fish and not worth the effort.

at this time of year you can just swim out with a pfd on and fish where ever you want.

just watch out for the wake board boats
