Wild One, Ever been in the Caroline Sports Store (If it's still There)? My dad had a trophy Brown on the wall there. I don't recall exactly where it was caught but I'd suspect it was around Rocky.

Are you naturally a PITA, or do you have to work at. Quite questioning people about their fish. You are not a fish expert by any stretch of the imagination, at least from what I have seen.:eek::p

Tinny I run a fish farm and probly put a tape on more trout in a month then you do in a year so if you don't like how big I say it is

My wife wanted to go to a dog show in Calgary and I said "Great, I'm going to get a guide and do a float trip on the Bow". It was a great day. Here are three browns, all caught on dry flies. Of course, the biggest one got away.

3.7 lb Brown trout

There are brown trout in the Cowichan river as well as several lakes on Vancouver Island. My biggest is about 2 pounds but I don't have a picture handy.

To avoid hijacking, I don't have any pics of my browns, having fished for them only once, biggest being 16" from a C. AB creek. I have a day booked on the Bow @ the end of April however, so I *will* dig this thread up @ that time and show you some more broonie porn

Only ever caught a couple pike. 22" and 30" Not a target species :twisted: Horshur I may only be 21 but I am pushing 20yrs fishing experience. 15years with more than 150 days on the water per year. I'm no casual. I live for it :twisted: See you on the water

You were 6 years old and you were fishing 150 days per year!!!??? I guess you did not go to school or anything.....wait ,that explains a lot of things:shock:. Thanks for clearing up some confusion we had here Tinney:-P

Nice fish everyone and keep them coming.

Mine is around 7 lbs, will try to scan and post this weekend. I have caught lots of 3-5 lbs in Stuart lake, but nothing really big, and all on hardware.

Biggest lake trout is 36 lbs, caught and released in a small lake north of the Fort.

Nice Brown Tr.! They look pretty cool with the bold markings.
Theres a lake nearby on the island where you can catch up to 15 lb Browns. In Flaming gorge ( the big reseviore in Idaho?) they catch Browns up to the 30 lb range! My brother got a 7 lb from the Cow. R. once, he thot it was a Steelie at 1st. Myself I have never been so fortunate but I also never targeted them specifically.

S'okay. I don't really give a fart what people think about my addiction to fishin. I don't fish to prove to people how good I am, I fish because it's fun and nothin beats being balls deep flipping an adams upstream to a riser. Post the fish porn boys, I love it all. I just gotto remember to take the exaggerations in stride ;)

You mean these photo's you took? They're very much 'untouched'. I wouldn't know how to photoshop a picture even if I tried! As you know, 2007 when you were part of this did not occur too long ago!!

I have a day booked on the Bow @ the end of April however, so I *will* dig this thread up @ that time and show you some more broonie porn

I am just wondering about fishing the Bow this time of year Tinney. I had the chance to fish it in early May 2 years ago and I declined because the water looked really murcky to me, from mountain run off. Does the Bow River not see mountain melt until early may? I would like to know, cause I would love to fish the Bow as well.

Couldn't tell ya. All I know is AB is definitely on a different runoff schedule than us. Most of their rivers have a freshet, but is very brief. Their rivers are more influenced by precipitation than anything else. I booked for the 28th of April and was told that dryfly action should be hot tamales by then. Much later than May 1st and you start to see more broonies and less rainbows because the rainbows head out of the lower river to spawn. The Bow is pretty much a year round fishery except during cold snaps when she ices up too much. Some of those boys were SLAYING back in Jan/Feb.
Check the fly fish calgary forum. I don't know much more than what I've seen and heard.

I fished the bow river alot the best times of year are April-mid May and then agian in mid June-end of sept.It is a good river year round if you know were all the feeder creeks and side channls are come high water.Are you looking for brown or rainbows?

I did not catch it but back in the early 80"s I was steelheading on the Cowichan,when a very big half dead brown went floating by.It had to be at least 10 lbs.It was sad because you could see it was trying to live but was probably dying of old age..Years ago on the upper Cowichan there was a huge back eddy. A big storm sometime in the late 80"s removed it. I caught many 5 /6 lb browns in that back eddy,all released.They where not all that great of fighting fish but nice to see.Man ,I miss that back eddy.

There are/was some huge Brown's in the upper Cowichan. They basically live in Santuary, in the fly fishing only section. There's a few deep pools where they spend there days not too far above the 70.2 tressel. I use to watch them from the high bank. They wouldn't move to any artificial offering and probably got fat on the numerous crayfish.

I saw one in the 80's before all the restrictions, laying in the bottom of a driftboat. Apparently it was 14 lbs. Being very familiar with what a 10 lb + steelhead looked like, I didn't doubt it.

Daycort,

Generally, run off on the bow is in may/june.

Fishing in March can be very good. The river gets its huge olive hatches and fish are feeding. Can be a tuff puff trying match the hatch, but the very sight of thousands of mayflies drifting down a slow stretch under an overcast sky is spectacular.
