Sorry for late reply. I have open country at2 “ extreme” (insert eye roll on the name). But they’ve been great. Mileage dropped about 1 l/100 compared to the stock tissue paper tires despite being pretty wide too. Can’t recall if they’re 305 or 315.
Got about 70k km on them and they’re about 30 percent ish. Noise is not bad.
I’d buy them again I think

Snagged a nice spinning set up last summer.

Has anyone found Arrow heads or such while walking along the bow from the city to carseland?
Ive put a lot of miles on various streams and I always keep my head down, but I’ve never found anything cool.

Cost is probably 2 dollars out of china ha

Im no fisheries biologist. But doesn’t a quick google search reveal enough information on the affects of dams on tail water fisheries?

I need to start diving in the Bow, there has got to be a ton of treasures. Further to above random items I forgot about my anchor that I lost.
I put an anchor I found on the bottom of the river, on top of an exposed rock 300m upstream of bankside last year. Might still be In the vicinity if you look close. Then again maybe someone scooped it

Ouch. I’ve also donated a setup to the bow. Nothing like a day costing you a couple grand!

I signed it and took a photo as thats what the CO told me to do... Funny as i was checked at Upper K this spring and the guy didnt bat an eye at the unsigned PDF
If a guy is geared up with a couple thousand dollars of gear...pretty safe bet.
Probably look a little closer if you haven’t taken the plastic off the foam handle of your Shakespeare extra heavy spinning rod.

Must have been bad luck for the fish creek one. i've been checked thrice this year by them (was given *hit for not having a signed copy of my license [had the pdf on my phone], but just a warning). They're usually the easiest to get enforcement from
Ya I’ve been given *hit for that too. They said it’s cause they can’t scan it. I made a PDF and signed it digitally, and they can scan it from their phone. I tested it out with one of them.

Last week, Saw some guys that looked like they bonked one at bankside. Called it in, get a call back from a guy in cochrane and that he can’t get a hold of the guy around fish creek. So, the guys went home and a had a fish fry.
month or so back was below the dam on the elbow with the dog, saw some skids rigging bait (and pink Powerbait nuggs Floated by) called it in. Officer didn’t even know the access to get down to the base of the dam. Made me wonder how so few officers Don’t know about popular access points. Especially since I’ve personally called in two poaching events at that spot this spring and summer.
not blaming them, but still frustrating.

Good job. Pretty frustrating...but youll feel a little better knowing he got caught and you can buy something purdy with the cash.

the “20 inch rainbow” story reminds me a little of the “hey we got lots of snow and it was cold” story as it relates to global warming.
Don’t get mad at me. Just something I came across. I too, wondered how much those things have to eat to maintain that mass.
Further reading reveals that the pelican populations were crushed and they are finally starting to rebound. May account for your 70’s observations.
I did notice that the power lines flossed a few around mac last year. So the bow has that going for it. Ha

Just a tidbit I came across...
“Pelicans feed on a wide range of fish and aquatic animals; sticklebacks, perch, northern pike, lake whitefish, salamanders, frogs, and aquatic invertebrates are the usual fare. Contrary to popular belief, pelicans do not consume large quantities of game fish.”

I grew up on the Banks of the Bow River.
First sighting was about 1975.
Maybe go and give one a hug..KRK..
Apparently, They were documented in Alberta in the late 1700’s. Gonna go out on a limb here and say that they’ve been on the bow for longer. That being said, it may have become more popular for them as the fishery blew up after the sewage injections.

Simms. Depends where you’re fishing. For example, I think that no matter what you have, wading the bow is like walking on ice.

Got a pair of vibram recently. Surprised how good they are. Few studs and they will turn you into a tractor.

Sorry, I’m not clear. Are you saying it’s a fact that the bow is overfished?

Surprised nobody mentioned this yet. Over the years the treatment plants have gotten "cleaner" by not pumping as much phosphate into the river, which means less fertilizer for river flora. Less flora probably means fewer bugs...
I was sort of joking, sort of serious.
here is the history of the upgrades. Last I see Is 1980 for phosphates. I suppose it could have taken a couple decades to trickle down. Who knows...

Personally, I would like to see more sewage effluent enter below bearspaw to improve that section.

I’ve never had any twist to the point where I’d be annoyed enough to wonder if there was a fix for it or if I was just doing something wrong....
