Default Bow River Blue Ribbon Area(show me your catch)

We all know Bow River Blue Ribbon area (from W.H.D. weir to Carseland weir)
is open all year, and has a bait ban. I just want to see what your catching. No need to share honey holes. I hope everybody will practice C&R on this portion of the river to prevent collapse. Calgarians are lucky to have the Bow River pass
through the city. No need to drive hours to have a 2-3hrs of fishing fun.

So let's see it...

Caught this Brown a few minutes ago on good old five of diamonds. Looked pretty old and beat up...and didn't put up a good fight. Had a big kype which was really cool.

Measured somewhere between 22 and 24

That is one incredible catch. Never seen any that big out of the bow. Did you happen to get a measurement?

Now that you've given it perspective, I feel almost sorry for having caught him. Hopefully he's back healthy with his little ones now.
