misfish Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) First off,HAPPY FATHERS DAY to my pop and all you fathers out there. Yesterday,I went for a drive to find some new running waters.Took the fly rod with me. My fly of choice was the olive cadis. Not to small and not too big. I missed one fish. I couldnt believe I couldnt get fish in these waters. It looked so prime. Found these little imprints.Little baby deer tracks. Wish I could of seen him/her. Today I headed back,but to another section of the river, armed with my ultra light,spooled with 4 pound and choice of spinner was,the black w/orange spots,Panther Martin. Quickly I got 2 small smolts. There was so much beautiful water again. I hit this one area with fast flowing water. I was rewarded with a nice natural rainbow. Quick pic,and swam away to fight another day. Had to be back early. Got burgers to make up and salads.Kiddies are coming over for lunch. All you fathers have a great day.

Musky or Specks Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 I wish we actually had a nice river with real resident bows. We almost did, we had a contract with Alberta to bring in bow river eggs for the Grand above Belwood Lake but then whirling disease hit the rockies and that was the end of that I guess now its the odd fish that doesn't smolt out or nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted June 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Careful it's not that hogweed Brian---not kiddin Did some research,and it does look like it Terrance. There seems to be a site to report such findings.I sent the pictures off to them and location. great way to spend fathers dayeven with all the walking Thanks bud. The walking is so much easier now.It,s the slippery rocks,that get your attention,REAL FAST. I wish we actually had a nice river with real resident bows. We almost did, we had a contract with Alberta to bring in bow river eggs for the Grand above Belwood Lake but then whirling disease hit the rockies and that was the end of that I guess now its the odd fish that doesn't smolt out or nothing I seen alot of smolts this morning.Many were behind this laying/floating log,that was like a feeder chute,and they were surfacing and jumpimg at small insects. I had numourous hits today as well. This river seems very healty IMO. Im still waiting to get my first reasonable brown still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Field Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 That water looks nice for steelheading in the fall and spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeytier Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Good stuff. Do you use a strike indicator? They help in presenting the fly to the right depth, not to mention...indicating strikes. Also, you can add 1 or 2 small shots in faster flows to help get it down quicker. I bet you'd find some browns and/or brookies if you moved upstream into some headwater stretches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet you'd find some browns and/or brookies if you moved upstream into some headwater stretches I pretty much use the loop at the end of my main line to detect a strike..Lots of times,I can feel the strike.Lots of short strikes. I have coverd alot of water the last two months. Im still relearning how to read of the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
