    And, high alpine streams 150-200 km away are under angling restrictions, despite the fact that AEP has no water temperature data.

    As I was wet wading a foothills stream today, I was wondering why hoot owl restrictions would apply to a stream that is flowing around 13C. But on reflection, I can agree with basin-wide restrictions: otherwise, our favourite small waters would get overrun by the Bow crowd looking for unrestricted afternoon/evening fishing opportunities.

  2. I literally stumbled upon something that was tough to look at. Just downstream from Shouldice athletic park No telling what killed this beauty, but we're in the time of year when a long fight and/or grip-and-grin can tip the catch-and-release odds against even a robust, mature trout like this. On the other hand, in one of Nature's ironies, flies were feasting on the trout's carcass.

    Maybe it would be a useful service if anyone who is in the habit of collecting temperature data had a page - like this - to post water temps over the next few weeks.

    On the Bow (the NW) yesterday (Aug 6): 17.5C @ 10:00; 19C @ 3:00. Today (Aug 7) 18C @ 4:00. Not too far from a fish/no-fish decision point, if we get back into a heatwave.

    Jumping Pound, in the Sibbald area earlier this week was sitting at a comfortable 13C. (Interestingly, the temps in the low-flow side-channels was a couple degrees lower - maybe with a larger percentage of that flow running underground, it stays closer to groundwater temps than the main channel.)
