Whitefish going yet?

[Full Curl]

Anybody feeding the whitefish yet this fall? Went out a few times but they seemed slow so far. (On the Red Deer)

A few starting to go but it seems this was about the time last year it was madness. Only time will tell, some years it's just slow.

My cousin and a friend headed down there two days ago sounds like royal coachman and back swimmers were working well for them. I will have to ask where and what again he was using.

Going pretty good on the clearwater

Went on the Bow river this morning out at Cochrane, Caught 12 in less than an hour

What did you use Royal Coachman flies? It's been a long time since I went fishing for whitefish in the Bow, does a fly on a line with split shot bouncing near bottom still work?

I was at Bowness Park for the first time in forty years. While the wife was at the Foothills for a course I went down to the river to check it out. The first three casts off the rock piles nailed three Whitey's. I was using a San Juan Worm and it was steady for three hours of fishing and approx. 20 Whitefish / 0 Trout.

Hi Dodger,

What time of day did you do this

Thanks.

Shrubs, PM me.

Any of the rivers you cant go wrong running a big indicator with a nymph, coachmen, and then a SJW.

Hey Tundra,

When you say big indicator do you mean the bobber style indicators or with a large dry? (ex hopper pattern) I've never caught a rocky white and thinking about a day trip.

FP, yes I mean the bobber style indicator. The one you slide your leader through and plug the hole with a tootpick. Let them bounce their way down, any movement set the hook.
