I think you mean Carseland. The reservoir above the weir there has world class fly fishing. I remember a few years ago it was a big deal that George Bush Sr. was in town to try his hand in that area.
Apparently the effluent from the water treatment plant in Calgary created the ultimate environment for trout breeding. That's part of what makes the Bow so good for fishing.
I've seen a lot of people pulling fish from the Bow in Fish Creek Park too.
