Although we like to think of Browns as fish of cold and pristine waters, once they achieve a certain maturity they can live in some pretty surprising conditions. I have seen some absolute slabs in some of the creeks flowing into Lake Erie. You just lay your fly upstream and work the riffle around the shopping cart and try for a drag free drift in between the old truck tires.
If they can mature upstream, the NSR at Edmonton is probably just fine for the larger fish.
