Hey Canada eh, learn to fuckin read fishing regulations you ignornat prick. The Bow is open from The Banff park boundaries down to the Highway 1 bridge NEAR CANMORE.
Go back to school and take a reading comprehension class before you make anymore dumb ass comments.

Sweet!!
Sweet fish! I wish the shot had been turned a bit so the sun could show us more detail on this hog.
It's a bull trout...what detail!?
LEGITIMATE FISH! This had better goddamn win!
I think the issue is more that it is a threatened species being held up for the old grip and grin. Don't get me wrong, it's a super nice fish and i'd love to have one on the end of my line, and I am not sure which side of the fence I stand on that issue. Again, it is a nice fish.
AB bull trout aren't very threatened anymore. The listing remains in place, but I would wager there are as many now, if not more, than there ever have been.
And why isn't this fish in the poll!!???
Very awesome fish for that section of river. I have caught a few from the Lower Kananaskis Lake that large but never from the upper stretches of the Bow, sweet Bull indeed.
