The fact that tributaries are not included in the regs for the Bow River from WHD to Carseland, means that Fish Creek follows the general stream regs for ES1 as outlined in point B below. That would be my interpretation as least and certainly consistent with other regs throughout the region. STREAMS A. For Streams listed and fish species listed under “ES1 Lake and Stream Listings” starting on this page. You must follow the regulations stated with each listing. B. For other ES1 Streams, and tributaries, not included under (A) and for fish species not mentioned at a listed stream. June 16 to Aug. 31 – Trout limit 2; Cutthroat and Rainbow over 35 cm; Mountain Whitefish limit 5 over 30 cm; (where present, Walleye limit 3 over 50 cm; Pike limit 3 [no size limit]; Perch limit 15; Lake Whitefish limit 10; Burbot limit 10); Bait Ban. Sept. 1 to Oct. 31 – Trout and Mountain Whitefish limit 0; (where present, Walleye limit 3 over 50 cm; Pike limit 3 [no size limit]; Perch limit 15; Lake Whitefish limit 10; Burbot limit 10); Bait Ban. Nov. 1 to June 15 – CLOSED

Little late on this one. I've had a WM for four years and absolutely love it. Very stable and great on white water. In addition to the Bow & Elk, I've used it in northern BC (Skeena tribs) as well as some Vancouver Island rivers with Class II-III whitewater. It has handled all of those situations very well. It does cost a bit more because it is made in the US (Montana) but well worth it in my opinion. They are very durable and well made. I have over 140 outings on my raft. The service is also great.

Awesome, thanks Rick.

My buddy found this place online: http://www.bowfloat.ca/Home_Page.html Is anyone familiar with them? Any reviews? Looks like a fairly new operation. Gillraker

Another vote for Armand & Michelle at Bow River Shuttles. Awesome service and treats! Gillraker

I'm in the same boat. I've made numerous calls over the years. On one occassion last year I did end up cashing in ($400) which was a nice surprise.

Letter sent. Thanks for the link Gaffer.

Signed. We're up to 443.

Agree! Could not have said it better myself.

Here is a formula used for steelhead: - Steelhead: girth squared x length x 1.33 divided by 1000 (inches) OR The following is an excerpt from: http://oregonflyfishingblog.com/2008/05/06...eelhead-weight/ Tom Keelin, an engineering guru and fly fisherman, recently published a new, more accurate way to estimate the weight of fish. The article ran in the May 2008 issue of Fly Fisherman. The conventional formula: weight = length x girth (squared)/800 underestimates the true weight of steelhead, according to Keelin. The more accurate equation, based on collected data from 87 steelhead weighed on an IGFA certified scale, is: weight = lenthg x girth (squared)/690. Keelin says using a denominator of 690 correctly estimates a steelhead’s weight within one pound, 80% of the time. Keelin’s Website, FlyFishingResearch.net, features an article explaining how to calculate fish weight, as well as an online fish weight calculator.

Nestle Inn is great. I have stayed there before. http://www.nestleinn.ca/

does any one know hoe much the 2man watermaster is? $2595 US Here's the link: http://shop.bigskyinflatables.com/main.sc

I also bought one this past spring. I agree with everything DougC mentioned in the previous post. The WaterMaster is an amazing watercraft and I have retired my pontoon boat as a result. One thing I want to add is the fact that you can hike them into areas where you might not be able to carry in a pontoon boat. They are much lighter than a pontoon boat, which means you can carry them fully inflated or wear it as a backpack (deflated) and hike in. This really opens up put-in and take-out options and allows you to customize your float. They are also very stable which allows you to stand comfortably on the seat platform which is great for casting or spotting fish.

It took me a while to get a spare key cut as most places did not want to or were unable to cut a spare key because of the fact it had a chip. Canadian Tire (Macleod & Southland) finally did it for me (door key only).

Checked three times this year. Twice on the Bow and once on the Oldman. I called RAP several times this season. The most recent time resulted in charges and my reward is in the mail.
