I am curious what kind of changes are causing this big delay in the regs. Perhaps it has to do with all the discussions surrounding the Bow river the last few years.
Hopefully folks are willing to speak up if these changes are going to have a huge impact on the average recreational angler.
A bit of overhead cover is often a welcome addition to picking a good spot (tree branches, bridges). The fish know they are pretty exposed to predators on the redds
Like Don said the fish are searching for places where the water is moving UP through the appropriately sized cobbles to provide the oxygen and favorable temps for the eggs to hatch. There can be a lot of competition for these high quality spots, especially in smaller streams.
Hopefully folks can respect what is happening and NOT fish for them.
The handle on my reel fell off in the water the other day. I have the screw, but need a new handle.
Any ideas where I can get one? Reel is an old Redington AS, but I imagine the handles are all pretty standard
Our government can't/won't afford another temperature monitoring device other than the one at Carsland. That would take some investment into the environmental sphere which is certainly frowned upon. Next thing you guys would demand some biologists and technicians actually out in the field collecting real data on populations and such.
I imagine the WID will still take it's full quota of water out of the river at the Zoo. There won't be much left downstream and it is going to get very warm quickly.
Same thing at Carsland.
Rethinking numbers for minimum flow rates should be addressed....but probably never will. Like when the Waterton gets pretty much diverted down a ditch
