Thumbs up Thank you to the fly fisherman on the bow river.

I just want to give a shout out to the fly fisherman who was fishing on the east bank by fish creek this morning. After catching a fish he moved on from the hole that he was fishing to give my son and I a chance to fish it. My 7 year old landed a nice 16" rainbow and after a 15 min fight I lost the biggest brown I have ever seen. Thank you you made my sons day

you probably heard us screaming and yelling oh and if anyone catches a really big brown, I'd like my #18 hares ear back. Yes it's all about the kids ten years ago I was fishing in bowness and a little guy was watching me. I hooked into a nice rainbow and gave him the rod to land it. If that kid could smile any bigger he would have hurt his face.
