Best day of fishing so far!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fredieC]

Hi all just thought of giving a report on the best day of fishing i had since i have come to Canada !!!!.

Went Hiking to Arnica lake in Banff National park ( abt 5.1 km just ahead of Boom lake on the highway ), my first ever hike here in Canada.. and tell you what i had to rest after abt. every 10-15 minutes...and take a break.....

when finally reached the lake.. was delighted with the sight ... started fishing at around 1 pm till 5 pm.. and tell you what wasn't disappointed at all... caught at least more than 25 fish ( lost count after abt. 20) and lost dozen or so, my buddy landed 22 fish and miss few...!! all cutties.. beautiful coloration on the cutties....used an oragne color spoon ( dont know the name,i had found that one!!! and my buddy was using mepps yellow colour spoon.., cutties were goin crazy for them , almost every other cast we got a bite or had a fish on....

Over all what a day of fishing... Was worth a hike...great day overall and will definately go back.......

posted a link for pics...!!!

Very nice cutties!!! Those are some pretty decent sizes compared to what i have caught. Gotta love those mountain trout.

thanks for sharing!

Beautiful fish in a beautiful place; don't get better than that!
How long did it take to hike there?

[fredieC]

about 1.30 hrs., considering it was my first hike, i'm sure others could make it earlier than me, had to take several stops before i reached the lake!!!!
