Just bought my first fly fishing set-up and I'm stoked to try it out. I'm heading to Lethbridge this weekend, then heading to Cypress Hills (Elkwater) for a week.
Any tips on where to go at each location (I'll hit Bullshead and Ressor for sure).
As well, any tips on flies and technique would be appreciated. I know practice will be needed on whatever I do, but I'd like to get a bit of a headstart.
Hit up Nicholas Sheran on the westside. There are books, browns and pike in there. Then there is Mcquillan pond which was just stocked with 15,000 fish about a month or 2 ago.
For Bullshead any nymph with a hint of red was working (accordinjg what I'd heard) this was a month ago though so things may have changed. A pheasant tail nypmh with or without a gold bead has been my favorite. Not sure what works at Ressor had my little girls there float fishing 3 weeks ago we caught a mittful of freshly stocked trout sure was fun for the kids, I would think a small boat or floaat tube would put you into bigger fish there. Regardless of the fishing Ressor is one beautiful place.

Cool. Can you put a canoe in Nicholas Sheran, or just fish from shore?
Here's a few of the 'bows we got at Bullshead. They were rising all around us, but they didn't want my dry fly, so my father-in-law and I just used our spinning gear, and caught a few.
See ya
