I hit the Elbow river in Calgary this morning for the first time this season. In 5 hours I put 5 trout in the net. 4 browns and surprisingly a tiny Rainbow, also (a rare catch for me in the city stretch). Nothing big (largest brown was 11 inches), all taken on tiny nymphs and dries. It is different from the Bow river,and a surprisingly nice change of pace from my usual day on the water. 5wt. rod, long fine leaders, very small flies, and intimate water. A prairie creek type of brown trout stream in the center of a major metropolitan city. Great stuff!
