We usually have success on small hopper patterns or grey/black mosquitoes.

Elk Hair Caddis, Club Sandwich, Stimulators, Royal Trude, Yellow Humpy, Madame-X, are just a few of my favs.

stand by a sewer pipe and wait for one of those famous corn hatches that show up every so often, then quickly grab a corn, put it on your favorite fly and whamooo, you should be into them.

next time someone asks the board for some help or info on fishing and you dont want to give it up don't say nothing. nobody's asking you personally. just move on down to the next post. i don't recall asking for the happy peach fishermans reply specifically. if you have a bad day, just kick the dog. ooops i shouldn't be giving you ideas.

Yup, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Good luck in fishing the NSR, and if ever your down around the Hat, I have some "honey holes" that I have no problem with sharing. I don't for one minute believe that there is any place to fish that a 100 other people have'nt already fished in Alberta, some are just harder to reach than others.
