Nice looking fish, you should have stayed home in the morning the afternoon was nice.
I guess any kind of fishing is better then no fishing..

I noticed that the water is very muddy down stream of the Wier project. When the heck are they going to be done with that? I hope soon.

It's actually a Crowsnest Rainbow in case you were wondering.

Yes, we drove down on that highway yesterday morning. Caught it between the falls and the colleries.

Yeah, I recognized that spot immediately hahaha. Nice one. Water sure is high and stained huh? Fished for a couple hours the other day and caught 1 beautiful rainbow and didnt get a bite the rest of the day.

Wow, with a little less spotting up front and with that yellow ish colour you would think that was a westslopes cutty. I'm itching for some southern Alberta cutty dry fly action. Might be a little late this year with the snow pack.

Going to float St Mary's river for the first time in mid July. Heard some great things about it.

I used to be on the river 100 days a year when I lived in Ogden. I could walk to the river from my house then and my waders and rod never left my truck.

I have actually been considering guiding on the river lately. I need a change in careers and that is something I know I'd be good at.

On another note I didn't know you had a trout pond. Rainbows I presume? With the schedule at BPS I can figure out exactly when I am working ahead of time. I get every second weekend off and the rest is on a rotation so I have more free time than before. The birds will be behind my bead this year for sure.
