Scary stuff!! I read somewhere that when a river in Montana, can't recall which one, had an outbreak 15 years ago it killed 90% of their rainbows and took 10 plus years for the fishery to recover. On one of my floats last week I saw a small rainbow swimming in circles close to Jensen's (lower Bow). It could have been injured or from natural causes but it sure makes you think that that it is safe to assume lower Bow will be infected. We all should be extra vigilant in washing our gear and following all the guidelines to help prevent the spread to other waters.
