untill about 2 weeks ago i had been fishing the strech from the bearspaw reservoir down to the bowness bridge. Theres a few runs if you walked down the shore. Its kinda hit or miss really. In the spring the fish were jumping non stop up at the reservoir, then that stopped, then it was on fishing just below the dam, then that stopped and they moved further down to the outlet pond, which was good for a few weeks then it went to the river. If your gonna fish i'd recommend a little bit down from the overflow pond down from the dam. I live in scenic acres and occasionally just park in silver and walk down the hill and fish the strech between the bowness bridge and 16th bridge, i'd give that a try if i were you too. Good luck.
