The bite really slowed down & we called it a day. Headed back to Calgary after 3 awesome days with a fantastic fishing buddy; thanks, TFG- I enjoyed the crap outta that trip!

That takes us up to Thursday. The very next day, I was off to Panorama, BC, with my friend, Tex. We stayed at his condo in Pano & fished a river that was new to me; that's up next...

Just like the previous day, we fished our way back to our starting point.
There were fish rising in the big, shallow flat below the pool where we had caught fish on nymphs in the morning. We got some on dries, including this one...

But, it was over.
Back to Calgary.
Back to work the next day.
Only 5 days until the weekend, though.
Off to chase pike & walleye with my brother.
