wongrs Posted June 12, 2008 Share 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.

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.

Castuserraticus Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 There's a day use area at Canyon Creek. It's the little valley west of Paddy Flats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SanJuanWorm Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Rich you can almost bet on the fact it will be dirty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhuseby Posted June 14, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
