ÜberFly Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Howdy! Yes and with a special license you can (and are expected) to Keep'em all!! Welcome and enjoy! Peter Quote
SilverDoctor Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Welcome aboard, Lots of great streams close. Quote
danhunt Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Welcome, lots of good small stream fishing all up and down the east slopes. Most smaller mountain streams are going to have cutthroat, whites and bulls. Some will have rainbows and/or browns as well, and there are some brookie streams like Cataract Creek, but in a lot of waters the brookies are more or less an invasive species. As Uber mentioned, there is a special license that allows unlimited harvest of brookies, but it is not something you can purchase online or from a retailer and it applies to specific waters only. If it's something that interests you search the forum and you can find some more info on it. Also, the Hook and Hackle club in Calgary has regular meetings and might be a good place to meet some other anglers and get the skinny on whats happening out there. Quote
