RangerBob Posted April 8, 2005 Author Share Posted April 8, 2005 Of course, the Golden Gate is just a short float trip down stream. I remember being here once and seeing a squadron of fighter jets fly over it. It was awesome! I can't recall how many times I crashed into this thing, and landed planes on it in Flight Simulator. =) http://maps.google.com/maps?q=San+FranCisc...85316&t=k&hl=en Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerBob Posted April 8, 2005 Author Share Posted April 8, 2005 I believe this is "Policeman's Flats". I've only ever fished there on foot once.. but I beleive this is one of the key put in / take out spots. Can someone confirm for me that it is? http://www.thebowriver.com/river_information.htm (See Other Guide Map Here) http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Highwood&ll=...21329&t=k&hl=en Barry White.. if you got your ears on.. you might wanna be updating some maps on your page with all this great stuff.

The fishing ain't bad either. http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Highwood&ll=...21329&t=k&hl=en Sigh.. I wish all the Edmonton Area maps were this detailed.

SilverHilton Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 RB, Going down to the Highwood meets Bow on Sunday morning with my mom. We usually fish the deep pool right accross from the confluence and work our way down the run. Lots of pretty fish stacked up there right now. Robin PS - I have access to 2.5m panchromatic imagery from a taskable satellite; I guess it pays to work in Geomatics. rmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
