    The Bow River - Alberta's Worst Kept Secret

    How come stocking the Bow never seems to be raised as a solution if not the only solution to the declining sport fishery in the Bow river. It's time the Bow get treated for what it is, a polluted tailwater full of non-native fish infected with WD. An on-river hatchery using "wild" genetics taken directly from the river could easily be implemented and should be the number one demand of the angling community that uses the Bow. Fund it using a conservation stamp/endorsement, Surcharge guided days and solicit corporate donations. When one reads the ACA article it's really quite clear that reducing angling pressure will most likely do very little to increase fish population and the decline will continue until nothing remains as the other 4 factors of the "Big 5" aren't changing anytime soon. 

    Good point, is it possible that low water, warm water, stream degradation due to the flood and poaching on the Highwood is impacting the natural recruitment of rainbow trout for the Bow River? A trial stocking program to restore the numbers could be a good option to offset these potential issues with the Bow's major spawning tributary. Not to mention stream/spawning enhancements for the Highwood would help the Bow, no?

    Salmon/pike Setup

    I would recommend the Rio Versatip system, its a bit more money but it gives you the ability to fish pretty much every type

    of situation. I also have added a selection of tips from T-10 to T-17 in various lengths to round out the set. I have used the

    tips for salmon, pike and bulls and it works great.

    Hello

     

    I have been on the Sea Shepherd RV Martin Sheen for 39 days and I have seen a lot! The filth and disease in the farms, wild herring feeding on farm salmon feed and the Musgamagw Dzawada'enuxw and sister nations uprising to protect their territory from this.

     

    They have been saying "NO" to this industry for almost 30 years and have suffered the consequences of a government that appears deaf, dumb and blind to the negative consequences of government's tight relationship with this industry.

     

    What exactly IS Canada's relationship with the salmon farmers from Norway?

     

    Take a look in a salmon farm and at the most recent Musgamagw Dzawada'enuxw ceremony on a salmon in their territory.

    I love salmon when I eat out and have been asking the servers for years if they are serving 'real' salmon or 'fake' salmon and

    always get confused looks from them. Then when they ask I like to educate them on the facts around farmed salmon in hopes

    that they pass it on to the restaurant management to get it removed from the menu.

     

    The only real way to get rid of these farms is to spread the word and stop buying that crap!
