Redds

For the fish...

 

Just so everybody is aware, the rainbow are spawning in the Crowsnest right now so watch where you walk.

 

The redds look like cleaned patched of gravel/cobble, often teardrop shaped, most of the time with a low area in front and a pile as a tail.

 

Walk well around them.

(sorry for the quick shot through my sunglasses...)

 

I also saw rainbows rising...

Alot of little black stones, thought I saw some BWO's, and a ton of worms.

Cheers!

I kinda wish they'd close the crow there at this time of year, becuase of this. Should be closed from the falls up IMHO... there actually spawning there... it's not like the highwood / bow confluence where it's "staging" fish, but rather actual spawners were allowed to fish for.

 

Having said that, there can be some good fishing to be had when there off the redds and eating, but everyone should be very aware of the redds and not to step on them OR fish for fish on them. Thanks for the report :lol:;)

Just thought of this: Don't the eggs stay for a couple of months before hatching? If so then wouldn't trampling them be a thing you have to worry about for a couple months?

 

For brown trout since they spawn in the fall, all late fall winter and spring couldn't fishermen actually be trampling redds?

Don't know a whole lot about this topic but here is some hatchery info. Maybe someone with knowledge on the subject will chime in.
