Wicked.

Already got a bunch and posted some pics before the NW closed for the spring. Pounded some nice ones west of cochrane recently too.

Just waiting for the next sunny day to dump the canoe in some open water.

Good to see things are melting up your way.

Outstanding lads , nice to see others taking advantage of the early season window of opportunity. We get a few early weeks in my neck of the woods before the rain and meltwater push us on to the stillwaters. Keep em coming. :sHa_shakeshout:

Lucky bastards! Lol I haven't got the luxury to fish open water yet this year... The Athabasca river hasn't broke yet up North... Hopefully next week it breaks!
