Sunday Apr 22 - The Bow

[ryanheartssteelhead]

what a beauty day. Warm, sunny and the wind took a break.

Slow day for the bow. Couple browns, couple bows. All on 3" black leech. But agressive takes.

hightlight ofthe day.......... 12" nike sneaker. Picked it up on the swingthing

Saw a spey clave thing in fish creek.

How did everyone else do?

My first time ever fly fishing was Sunday and I caught nothing but trees and grass. I had a hit on a green leach, but it snaPped my line. What a blast fly fishing is though. I'm already hooked and ready for round two later this week. I do need to buy some hooks if anyone has any suggestions.

I went fly fishing for 45 minutes near Southland and caught a whopper of a Rocky Mountain White Fish. It was a lot of fun.

what kind of fly were you using? I might go tonight tot he southland park there. I was going to try a spinner. I have a variety of mepps and panther martins that might work. Do you know any specific colors that you know work. Or any other hooks that might work. (SPINFISHING) I do fly fish but not that much. i want to try and catch a nice bow or a brown on a spinfishing rod.

i went out on the fly and got sweet bugger all, and so did the other 5 guys i passed between 22x and deerfoot. met a nice fella from denmark who is here working on the airport project all summer. Swapped emails and surely will hit a few alpine lakes this year, as he is interested to see what the mountains have to offer!!!!

oh, did i mention a wicked farmer tan/sunburn!

Got a rocky and a sucker at Policeman's and a brown at MacKinnon on saturday.
Fished MacKinnon on sunday, lost a rainbow early in the morning, then not a bite the rest of the day.
I too got a really nice sunburn, face and up to my elbows and I was wearing sunscreen... guess I need some SPF 1000.
