MY ALBERTA TRIP

[DMASSE]

Hello

 

Thought that I would share my trip to Alberta, I have to go for some family matters but managed to find tons of free time to fish THE BOW, THE OLDMAN, 2 National Parks and tons of mountain lakes and streams. Tons of fish caught ranging from CUTTHROATS, BULL TROUT, RAINBOWS,MOUNTAIN WHITEFISH and some others I didnt know what they were. All were caught and released, My guide didnt like taking pics of fish or even handling them so we used a release tool, so that they can fight another day..

 

The pics are mostly scenery shots of the areas I fishined

 

BANIFF NATIONAL PARKS

HERE I WAS USING A 10ft 7wt rod and swinging and stripping large flies like BOW RIVER BUGGERS

 

WATERTON NATIONAL PARK

GREAT mountain view, this area has about 100 stream that flow into this lake...

Hiking to a little gem spot

 

Tons of wildlife, I saw Mule Deer, Mountains sheep (long horn) moose, coyotes, bears, elk, white tale deer. tons of hawks, eagles, first time ever a MAG-PIE also I thought I was going crazy when I saw this Bird a PELICAN I talked to a warden and he said they fly here and usually dont make it back...

 

 

This is one of my fav shot, its me fishing a stream 2 hours in the interior of CANMORE (atv's). It was just amazing, the fish were stacked up like cord wood, it was almost to easy...

 

 

More to come when I get my other camera out of luggage

 

Hope you enjoyed It

Ah, the good old Bow River, I've fished it many times.

 

Canmore is such a beautiful place isn't it? Did you see the three sisters while you were there? (Get your minds out of the gutter, its a mountain range )

 

Thanks for the photos
