Bow fishing as in Elk and the odd salmon with a bow and arrow or jump in the water and spear the odd bass?
Now hunting with a bow and arrow is something I would love to try, Its ileagal here in the UK, so Im never likely to have a go. HEHE! can you imagine sneaking up on some whopping great Elk thing with a homemade Yew bow and letting rip? TWANG! Hehe! Would keep me in food for a year  Im having a yew Longbow made for me now, so Im not taking the Mick honest, I have a genuine interest

Brian,
You'll have to check the local regulations for bowfishing. Below the border the sport is mostly confined by law to coarse species like carp, buffalo, bowfin, etc. I don't think that many of those are found in your colder waters. Still, I suspect that the same techniques used here will work just fine. Carp shooting is best done in the Spring during the breeding season when they come into the shallows. With a piroque or some sort of flat-bottomed skiff, have a friend slowly and carefully push you along until you can see the back of the fish (polarized sunglasses help a lot, with a brimmed cap) and let fly. There are plenty of specialized reels that you can attach to your bow and fishing points are easy to find in catalogs. Good hunting, Brother.
