Bucket List: Bow River Bullets

Without a doubt, Alberta, Canada’s Bow River is a world-class trout fishery. Glacier-fed and flowing more than 350 miles from the Canadian Rockies through the foothills and prairies of Alberta, it is big and scenic by the time it reaches the 50-mile section southeast of Calgary that author Jim McLennan called “the Blue Ribbon Bow.” It is here in this blue ribbon stretch that anglers flock to get in on some of the best brown and rainbow trout fishing in the world.May 9th, 2025

Nature has a way of dictating what happens to its food webs. Things are constantly in flux, fish are moving in and out, and predators follow closely. It is the best game of cat and mouse. As a scientist, I am constantly amazed and also perplexed by how nature can be resilient at times to some things (storms, human presence), and extremely sensitive to others (changes in water quality, temperature, etc).Sep 27th, 2013

Sometimes Small is Better

Occasionally in the late summer or fall we will come across sailfish balling small sardines offshore in 200 to 800 feet of water. We have had times when we found these fish and had a live well full of big goggle eyes and beautiful herring, normally great sailfish bait. The sailfish would not eat these baits.Sep 27th, 2013
