McLeod Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 The 2018 Regs are out on paper although not yet on the internet that I can find. Major changes in Banff National Park as a number of Lakes and flowing water streams are closed. This is to monitor the Lakes for Whirling Disease as these waters contain BNP'S only populations of pure strain Native Westslope Cutthroat Trout. Included on the list as closed to fishing this year are the following lakes... Sawback ,Rainbow , Mystic and Marvel. Hopefully all the testing is concluded this year and the Lakes are back open next year but then again who knows how long this process will last. Quote
bcubed Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Suspect that if they're found to not have any whirling, they'd be kept shut to avoid transferring it there 1 Quote

Hikers could do the same. Hopefully common sense will prevail. Quote
bowbonehead Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 I suspect its a mute point as it was likely in Johnson since the eighties Quote
monger Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 No geese will ever land there. The spread cannot be stopped Quote
Jayhad Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 Think of the positives, this is a great opportunity to flush those weak sauce tourist troots down the drain and stock these waters with the majestic BRUINS... Long live the germans 2 Quote

FishnChips Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 Germany was the origin of introduction of Brown Trout species to North America I believe. Bruin refers to bears... perhaps the write is mis-pronouncing 'Brown' like a Scotsman...? No matter... I do wish we could agree to speak The Queen's English! 1 Quote
BowLurker Posted June 9, 2018 Posted June 9, 2018 That's it, blame the origin countries, for mismanagement of the species. We wouldn't have our mighty Bow Browns and Athabasca Rainbows without Alleman. Ever went fishing in Austria..>>? Just saying... -M. Quote
bowbonehead Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 Except that the Athabasca strain is native 3 Quote
