Red Deer River Browns
Anyone gone to the Red Deer lately? I know it's high and murky but has anyone caught any browns this year below Dickson?

From the dam downstream are browns not rainbows, and the Upper Red Deer from Sundre to Glennifer Lake are some browns but mostly brookies and some bulls, I live right off this part of the river and have yet to see a rainbow.

crazy thread.....
Rainbow is not exactly what comes to mind when I think of my home town river. I have, however, hooked into a couple immediately below the dam.
Give her a month or so and the Red Deer should be coming into her prime.

nothing wrong with Goldeye, I love catching them. A friend of mine smokes them and they are pretty good that way.
There are monster Browns in the Red Deer, that much has been proven to me, I've never caught them though. The river supports a whole bunch of different sport fish.
I'm fishing the Grande Prairie region this year (working here), but I look forward to goldeye 'till dark in 2012.

x2
The river has come up significantly the last couple of days and is very turbid and murky. I was out at Glennifer a couple days ago and the lake was pretty low so i can only assume they are still making room for the runoff.

I can vouch for you on this one. Just when you think you've caught a really decent Brown.. it turns out be a monster Walleye or Jack

What are you guys using in the Red Deer River? I was thinking of heading out to test it by Sundre.

The head waters is the area I'm looking at hitting up. I did a driveby through the area the other day and the water is really fast moving and brown.
