How'd you catch the trout at midway? Will be heading there soon.

In Midway - was using smaller Panther Martin spinners for the best results (on the NW end in the bushes). Had some luck as well using a float and fly on a spin casting outfit on the NE end near the dam.

Was nice to catch 4-4.5 pound pike in the city near Discovery Ridge - will go back there soon as my 15 year old daughter lost one that was easily 5 pounds, much bigger than the 4.5 pound one we kept.

Where near discovery ridge do you go?

Does anyone have fall bass tips? I'm heading to my cottage and i might stop in and hit some bass on the way down.

I don't know anything about fishing for Bass in the fall, but trout are typically very good in the fall on the Bow.

Started out from the Griffith Woods parking lot and headed sw towards the river. Look on Google maps satellite view and you'll see a large oxbow on the north side of the river - pike and some big trout in the oxbow.

Yah, the trout fishing is killer. my cottage lake holds some real lunkers, my best is 26" but i have seen larger. i have yet to land a western bass larger than about 3" lol

Catching and releasing pike right now, going for the bigger ones I've seen.

Just lost one close to five pounds.

The trout were killer last 2 weekends. B.C. lakes are giving up some hog, i got a 10ish pounder and more kokanee than i knew what to do with. The sheep was milky on Saturday but the cutties were out to play on the hopper dropper Nothing over 14

Anyone want to get out on Saturday for some brown trout? I'm thinking of hitting a pond with my pontoon. Or take a drive up to quarry lake for graylings.

Where is everyone fishing this weekend?

Wanted to find a nice spot to go out and teach the ole' lady a few things. Thoughts this time of year?

Thanks

Anyone got the itch? I'm heading down to my cottage for some big rainbows. With them temps the lake will still be ice free but we can always go a few k north for bass but that will be ice fishing. There is room for a few to join so just send me a pm. I'm going from the 28th to the 30th.

Anyone want to get out Saturday and try to get some Lakers and monster pike out of the bow? Chance of drowns and rainbows too.

I am heading out Sunday. Where are you catching lakers out of the Bow? Never seen one of those come out of the Bow yet.

carsland?

Anyone have tips for Spray reservoir? I have a buddy just mesmerized by the idea of catching big lakers out there.

Find a big underwater bolder or other features in the 50 to 150 foot depth and jig the largest white jig you got.

Not cars land, it's in city

[darthVWader]

You can find Lakers below Bearspaw or Ghost dams. The Bow holds a lot of different species of fish.

Bulltrout

Cutthrout

Rainbows

Browns

Brooktrout

Pike

Lakers

Rocky mountain whitefish

Lake whitefish

Sturgeon in the lower section

Walleye in the lower

Burbut

I'd love to but will be snowboarding Saturday. What's up Sunday?

[Fly Fishin']

Haha, probably fishing.

Nooooo you ruined my secret spot lol. I only have the bottom 3 on the list to clear all the bow river species. A friend did get a sturgeon on the fly once above the weir.
