Indeed it is. My Phone's battery died so I couldn't take a pic
and I didn't bother bringing my Tape Measure because this stream is strictly catch and release.
I basically compared the fish's length and girth to a Cuttie I caught in Lower Kananaskis this year that measured 50 CM on the dot.
It is nice to see good numbers of fish as well as fish with size coming out of the Foothills. Fisheries Management was wise to designate alot of them strictly catch and release. Also seeing a huge Conservation Officer presence this year which is great for enforcement and discouraging people to break the rules.
