So you are saying the lake trout I ate out of Frank Lake wasn't a good idea?

If you are feeling woozy, I would say it was a great idea.

How many lakes and streams would you NOT eat the fish in S.Alberta?

The Bow has cleaned up considerably in 30 years,, fish meat is actually pinkish again instead of margarine yellow. If I targeted trout to eat from the Bow would I eat them? sure.

I guess my question to Epic is; "What is your favorite fish to eat that is in Southern Alberta?"

X2, in this day in age with google earth and sport fishing regulations, no need to ask for lakes that hold these fish

Yeah, especially in the "blue ribbon" section just below the sewage treatment plant. They never mention that part in the discussion of how wonderful the bow is. LOL
