Tried my luck today below Carseland weir and was rewarded with a nice fat rainbow. Missed 2 others and wife had a couple on. Great action for just over an hour of fishing. Later tried the campground side with no bites.

Part of the reason we went there was to get a bit further away from the weekend pressure. Was kinda frustrating last week floating Bowness to the zoo...the whole river was a zoo.

All action were on Mepps. #1 with red metallic blade worked for me. Wife had on green and black Mepps aglia with tail. Was wishing I had flyrod along as there were LOTS of grasshoppers along the shore in the grass.

yeah i wish i could have too, i think i have a hopper pattern, that may have been the only thing that would work on my flyrod. or at least in the collection i have..and i was using a "trout spinner" unsure of size, but they came in a pack of 4 from wal mart.....it was bright gold, thats what the whites liked...the brown and bows like the panther martin in gold with orange on it, not sure what size, i got rid of the package already.....but the big browns love those it seems....

Ya gotta love them lures:lol:, they catch more fisherman than we can catch fish.:lol:
They always said the lures are to catch fisherman not fish and that is true. I have a fly called a :sick:Chernoble ant and its the uglyest thing you ever saw, I saw the biggist rainbow:love: Ive ever seen caught on it out of the Crowsnest River. I would never have purchased it on my own I would have thought its to ugly. Its really surprising sometimes what a fish will hit when they are hungry. I find that when fish are on the bite they will almost take anything.
