TUC Bow River Chapter 'Tackle Swap' 2013

| All photos, Copyright Bow River Shuttles All rights reserved 2013 |
The 20th annual 'Tackle Swap' was a huge success. Volunteer Event Coordinator Craig R. said that this was the highest number of tables purchased by sellers since switching to the 'garage sale' format over ten years ago.
In fact, while he said he might have been able to squeeze in another table, for all intents and purposes, it was a sell out!
He also stated that the number of buyers may have been at an all time high. Often times, come 11:30 am, most buyers have come and gone. Not so this year.

Scientists to monitor fish spawning at Harvie Passage
Electrofishing uses direct current to temporarily stun fish
CBC News, Apr 26, 2013
Scientists were on the Bow River Friday to catch and tag fish as part of an effort to monitor spawning activities around Harvie Passage.
The area,
downstream from the Calgary Zoo, was redesigned between 2009 and 2012 to make
the passage less dangerous.
Now,
researchers are tagging and monitoring fish to make sure the changes won't
impact their spawning activities in the Bow River.

Another 'spring' day on the Bow. Drifters who got an early start encountered weather that was a bit different than those who put on in the afternoon.
Mostly cloudy in the am, we hit our daytime high of 8°C by 2:00 pm.
By 3:00 pm, it had dropped to 2 °C, and we had a 'light snow' storm move through. By 4:00 pm, it was back up to 7°C.
Just after 4:00 pm, we had a rain shower and a bit of hail!
