Congrats on an other nice fish. U got to have a magic fly in ur box. I was up there last weekend for two days and no whiteys for me :mad0100: found one school on sat but it was pretty windy so was not able to stay on them but did land 8 pikes. Sun was way nicer day no wind and 10 minutes on the found a big school, so drop the anchor and try to land some of these whitys. 2 hours tried avery flys in my box and all they would is swim all around me. Drove me nuts so had enough of that bs, put the 6wt away took out my 8wt and went looking for pike. Landed 11 all on a 5" red rooster tail. Il b back jus got to figure out ur Magic flys again congrats

Great thread. I'm quite intrigued, may have to go chase some whites. This mountain lake.... Is it pike n whites only?

[Speckle55]

Yes but it has access to the Athabasca through a creek

Lol where do you reside, speckle? You seem to fish at talbot a lot.
I would love to visit talbot for some whites but its simply too far...

[Speckle55]

Hey Gslice.... I live in Hinton so I fish and have fish the Jasper National Park a lot also most lakes/rivers/streams within 1 1/2 hrs of Hinton but some I don't fish any more as I have refined my fishing in later years .. also have notes that go back into the seventy's
