Awesome Pics. The one of the waterfalls with the mountains in the background especially is awesome IMO. I'm definiteley going to have to consider checking out the forestry trunk again this or next summer.

fishing was unreal, in every river stream and small lake you would get a bite every cast with the fly rod, the nordegg trout ponds were not cold at all, very refreshing, but i did take my mask and flippers down the upper pembina and you freeze in 5 seconds literaly, colder then the freezer trust me, but it was cool seeing the bottom of the pembina and all the whitefish that are accually in it

and I thought that road was way to busy. Certainly not like the 70's when we'd hike back. Twas the time of the Bronco, way before quads.

south ram is not the best fishery IMO and gets pounded hard and is diffcault to locate fish.
pairie creek is good if you walk wayy upstream. spooky browns there too and lots of brookies in the headwaters.
locate your pools in the day and come back at night and pound them hard with mice

X2 on the south ram. Fish are usually pretty shy by now. I have headed up to the confluence with Ranger Ck years ago and done well.

I prefer the upper end of Prairie as well. There are some lesser know tribs up there that used to have great brookie fishing.

My favorite section of the trunk road river system is the Chungo, Wapiabi, and Blackstone.
