Was at the bottom of the island west of the 75th street bridge on the NSR today practicing with the spey rod and ended up pulling in a 20+" brown trout. Swinging a chartreuse clouser through a ~5' deep tail-out type area. It was definitely a surprise!
After checking on here it looks like others have seen trout in the Edmonton stretch. Any recent experiences?
Didnt notice any redds after I started looking (it was in an area with a fair bit of cobble and current), and he didn't seem to be displaying any typical fall/spawn colors.
A pretty great late fall day!
