I read an article by a Calgary cowboy and rodeo star that petting rodeo bulls closed in the "chute" while you're settling in on its back for an 8 second ride tends to calm them. Well at least till the chute door opens. Sitting on a 1500 pound bull may bring Dave a new understanding and spiritual connection with animals.Its more likely to result in a physical disconnection and end your trip however. Enjoy the Bow River and its monster rainbows. I know we'll all experience the "bull" after your fishing experience.

No mention of tackel used or records sought. I think Carl has mentioned the Stillwater stretch of the Deerfield as prime trout stream but no one to my knowledge has taken any thing this big fortunatly both were safe. Time to go 11.00 here and way dark. Carl and Dave
