Default Wicked start to this year..

This year hs started off great. I have had 3 trips, first one was to Lethbridge where I got pike on the fly for the first time. Then I got a 2.5lb Brook Trout out of Yellow Head. And 3rd. Yesterday I went to BullsHead with fishpro. We had a great day. I ended up pulling in some real nice trout.



Thinking a trip to see flygirl and tonyflyfish at Twin may be in order this weekend for some fishing.

Wow, the water level at BH is really high this year. Did you get many chrome (non-spawner) fish? The triploids should be around 16-17" this year. Post-snow water temps should rise and help with the catch rates.

Out of 18 fish or so I think there was 3 or 4 chromes. Water is about 3 feet higher than norm. Trips are average 18 biggest was 21-22
