wongrs Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Can someone verify for me that canyon creek on the Elbow River is upstream (west) of Bragg Creek? In other words, as of June 16th, the Elbow is legally fishable downstream of Bragg Creek. I can only find vague descriptions of Canyon Creek on the interweb. Elbow River -from headwaters downstream to Elbow Falls (16-22-6-W5) & tributaries except Quirk Creek. June 16 to Oct. 31 – Brook Trout limit 2; Other Trout limit 0; Bait Ban. Nov. 1 to June 15 – CLOSED -from Elbow Falls downstream to Canyon Creek – CLOSED -from Canyon Creek downstream to Glenmore Reservoir, & tributaries including former Allen Bill Pond, except Canyon Creek June 16 to Oct. 31 – Trout limit 2; Cutthroat and Rainbow over 35 cm; Mountain Whitefish limit 5 over 30 cm; Maggots are the only bait allowed and only in the river from Aug. 16 to Oct. 31. Nov. 1 to June 15 – CLOSED -from Glenmore Reservoir downstream to Bow River CLOSED Apr. 1 to May 31 and Oct. 1 to Nov. 30 June 1 to Sept. 30 and Dec. 1 to Mar. 31– Trout limit 1 under 35 cm; All trout over 35 cm must be released; Mountain Whitefish limit 5 over 30 cm; Maggots are the only bait allowed and only in the river from Aug. 16 to Sept. 30.

Rich, Roger that! Canyon Creek is downstream of Elbow Falls and Upstream of Bragg Creek! P Quote
Castuserraticus Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 There's a day use area at Canyon Creek. It's the little valley west of Paddy Flats. Quote
wongrs Posted June 13, 2008 Author Posted June 13, 2008 thanks. i'll be breezing through town next week staying close to bragg creek and wanted to know if it was fishable (by the regs). i hope it won't be too too too dirty. Quote
SanJuanWorm Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Rich you can almost bet on the fact it will be dirty. Quote
rhuseby Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 For a creek that is usually bone dry at the mouth, it's roaring and dirty. Somebody actually kayaked it a little while ago. By the time it clears, it will probably be dry at the mouth again. Quote
gravelman Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 took a drive up there sat and it was dirty and high at paddys flat. Quote
