relk19 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I am looking to hook into my first Bull this weekend, looking for a good place to go. I am not interested in the Livingstone or Oldman area, as I have heard those areas get extremely busy in the summer months. Was thinking the Kootenay River in BC in Kootenay National park, but was curious if there are any better streams nearby (Calgary area) for Bulls?

Hawgstoppah Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Highwood or Sheep have bulls and are close to ya. Any deep pools with streamer patterns give you a chance. Cover a lot of water, if a bull is in the mood he'll let you know real quick. Don't waste too much time fishing over fish you can see, they've seen you too ;-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtaylor Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Fish the Sheep @ the bridge at Indian Oils Day-use Site to the headwaters. Most guys don't like walking that far but its well worth it Note: from bridge at Indian Oils Day-use site downstream to Gorge Creek and tributaries (except Gorge Creek) - CLOSED Also Gorge Creek is pretty good but you need to hike roughly 3kms to find a good Bull trout hole. I think its well worth it. Sandy McNabb gets pressured to hard, so don't waste your time there. Look forward to seeing some great Bull trout pics.

FraserN Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I agree about the sheep. So much pressure on the easily accessed pools now. Not like it used to be 15 years ago, when you could get your bullie out of the first pool you came to anywhere above Turner Valley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
