Some of you may have seen this on the Flyfishing Forum but I figured I'd post it here too.
My wife is out of town for a couple of days this week so I have a free pass to get out there and explore. I was thinking of heading towards Black Diamond and Longview to try my hand on the Highwood and Sheep. I've scouted there a bit and I'm wondering which portions of the river I should hit. I was thinking of the stretch between the reserve and Highwood Juction, just walking from the rec areas and some of the turnouts along the way. Is it all private property along there or can I get down to the water without any problems? Or, would I be better off trying in and around Okotoks? As for the Sheep, is it even worth poking around that little stretch between Black Diamond and Turner Valley? I've read so much conflicting info on the sheep and I'm not really sure what to try. Limited time, lots of ground to cover. Thanks for any info you guys can pass on. Oh, I'm flyfishing if that helps at all.
