Enjoy!

More experimentation time this year, vs. just going with the tried-and-true that I know works. On stillwaters, I want to try some floating leech patterns this year, fished on a full-sink line and short leader, sort of booby-style (but slower, of course). Balanced leeches under the indicator are very effective, but I'd like to try some buoyant leech patterns like this to see whether staying within a short distance off the bottom, particularly where the depth is varying, makes any difference. I tied some up this weekend with a foam head and underbody, to give this a try this spring.

I've been fishing 1 fly for the last 3 seasons, I might double or triple my fly selection. I'll need a bigger box, or a fly box period, lol.

I am going to work on more nymph and streamer presentation. Dry fly is my preference but I need to get deeper to where the fish are as I find the dry action to be quite limited. I am a bit clumsy with the increased mass of streamers and nymphs, I will be working on getting over that. If anyone has some suggestion, I'd be grateful.

Yes, I know the spot Lornce. For the upcoming season I will deliver a fly to the perfect location with a small drone

Been pondering new places and over the past couple of days ran a list of streams/lakes I’ve fished over the past 60 years. A rough list shows 60 lakes or ponds with a further 80 streams and creeks. The water bodies were from the 49 parallel to close to Peace River unfortunately not a lot of them were in tbe east or NE part of Alberta. Does anyone have any suggestions for any places in tbe eastern area. Regards, Don
