Red Deer fishing is great. Browns are big, Goldeye just left so little slow. Caught 26 Browns yesterday.

I had read about the Bow and the great fishing many times, but until this fall, I had never had the chance.   I was in Calgary for business and figured I'd bring my rods and tackle, hoping to get a chance on what many call North America's best trout river.  I spent the last afternoon of my trip south west of Calgary, about 20 km's.  Everything I have read is true.  Great fishing, lots of fish and lots of water.  The only problem I found was finding a place that wasn't already occupied.  I had equal success with fly fishing, bait casting with power bait, and casting spinners.  If I'm ever back in Calgary, for business, I'll pack my rod again.
