Figured it was more of a sign of this forum dying a prolonged death?
Thought that was just the bow

Great...
Vancouver-based millennials with laptops and lattes looking to advance our ideas as their own. imho they are a perfect example of what is wrong. No subject matter expertise of their own, they are crowd sourcing data to spin a marketing pitch to Tourism Calgary. Sigh...
I recommend they set up shop in Canmore on any weekend during the summer...
Plenty of twitter and snapchat types wearing their MEC boots with a day pack, cool shades, a mobile phone in one hand and a Beamer's coffee in the other strolling around looking skywards... @Iwasinthemountains...
Please... please... please... just stop. Our waters are already overcrowded, overfished, overheated and under cared for.
So they just release a “study” that shows
fish numbers are down substantially—
and more or less blame anglers; then the city takes on an advertising campaign to attract more anglers?

Just what the bow needs, another few thousand rod days.

Here's another one, hint not all pointed upstream.
Are they holed up due to extremely low water conditions?

My local Calgary community lake has a large area that is snow-free ice this winter. Thus the question whether under such circumstances, where sunlight can penetrate, do the weeds still die off (and thus consume O2 in their decomposition)? Is it just sunlight penetration that determines whether the weeds survive the winter, or are there other variables like water temperature that can/do kill off the weeds under the ice?
Disclaimer: I have no clue/bs’ing . But I’d assume with the light lost from the refraction/flection of the ice combined with the Low angle of sun, short days; they still die. Look at the river as an example. Bow clears out even areas that are ice free all winter. Although, there are other factors there like flow and water levels that may also play a part.

Let’s make it even harder....how many maxillas?

Lots of community lakes, lakes and streams nearby where people could continue to toss junk.

"Fly Fishing only" would also go a long way plus more signs about rules to the general public. Poaching is a problem and more public education on subjects like the no bait rule is important. it would educate the general nonfishing public and get more eyes on the water.
Like “real” fly fishing only? No bobbers?!

Perhaps its time to think about a seasonal closure on the Bow like there is on all the tributaries.... maybe give the fish a break in the winter and at spawning time......
Ya I still don’t follow their logic after they made it catch and release bait ban. “Well we took those two things away, let’s give them open all year to smooth things over.”

Just a reminder, this was last December. Still have it in the garage if you can identify it.

Something 60-100 grains and 3ips and 6ips sink depending on the depth and speed etc

No sorry good luck

Yeah definitely not even worth fishing for those rolling lazy cutthroat. Keep fishing the Bow, or better yet the lakes in BC
Amen brother.

Can’t help you much. In Mexico, Used wading boots the first time I went, flip flops the second time. Then used flip flops and Simms flats sneaker for my last few trips in Maui.
On sand, some sort of sandal like teva’s Or whatever, might be good enough. Can’t see those orvis boots keeping all the sand out...and if you can’t keep it all out then what’s the point really?
That being said, they look like they’d keep more sand out than the flats boots.

They’re changing the output from bonnybrook.

Where ya headed?

Selenium also significantly decreases the endurance of muscle tissue. This makes a slow, rolling Cutt even lazier when you hook him
So that’s why cutties are so lame?!
I caught one in the bull river missing 3/4 a gill plate like in the photo. But at least in the kootenays, most still have their lips.

This line in the report stuck out to me;
"The pattern of decline in adult abundance in the LBR appears similar to declines in other high-profile Rainbow Trout fisheries caused by Whirling Disease."
My understanding is that the parasite and the resulting whirling disease mostly affect young fish of a size that aren't often targeted, or even caught by most anglers. Limiting angler effort could, in some measure, protect the adult fish and possibly allow more to spawn but would this have an appreciable impact on the number of young trout that survive the disease and live to produce the next generation? Also, if the rainbows in the Bow aren't native (but naturalized) could introducing a strain like the Hofer rainbows that have shown a higher level of resistance to the parasite be possible, and if so would this help the population recover faster?
Nah, I think closing it for 5 years makes more sense.

Hopefully this is When Alberta is going to start regulating guides and guide days.
My forehead vein bulges every time I have to think about the fisheries here trying to reinvent the wheel when it comes to management, when all they have to
do is look west.

Add in a San Juan worm ban.
Id like to see single barbless for nymph rig or barbless dry/dropper.
Social media is to blame.
It has only been a season or two for catch and release.

You missed my point entirely. And how many of those were funded through the internet via Go Fund me or similar? Yes, municipalities have dealt with invasives, none to my knowledge were done with internet fund raising. It's all tax dollars. And they're done on a cases by case, very limited basis. And you know this obviously - you've been mentioning the perch issue for years, and very very little has been done. You disagree?
Very little has been done due to the likelihood of idiots restocking them.
I doubt the public would lose their *hit over it being partially privately funded.
Greenies and conservatives tend to agree on invasive species.

Bron,
you ever caught one of those lard assed brooders. I have by accident. Sad excuse for a trout.
Don
Well good thing you’re out there excercising them then!

Side note, what’s the water clarity out there like? Alberta tea?

The “invasives” are Prussian carp I believe. Apparently the bows have been eating them for years, stomach content shots to prove it.
Read it on AO—before I got banned, of course.
