Just a quick comment on the flyweights, I had the previous version and was not impressed with the durability. I put a lot of kilometers on them (10+ per fishing trip), found them reasonably comfortable and grippy, but had significant tears in the vibram after 3 months. Sent them back and was told it was normal wear and tear. If you average lower kilometers than me, they are great. Also, perhaps the new version is better.

Add my name to the long list of folks who let their net drift away.
Was reviving a personal best Bull and completely spaced out regarding the net. It might be halfway to Carsland by now. 

If you find one, please send me a message. Long shot, but worth a try.

Managed to get out onto some Elbow River Tribs yesterday. Water is high, but clearing and fishable. Landed a bunch of palm to 1ft sized Cutts, Brooks, and one small Bull. Looks like we are back in business.

Opening day is right around the corner. Not sure if anyone is super keen on getting out there, but a heads up: Highwood pass (Hwy 40) is closed at the moment. The closure runs the regular winter closure due to avalanche risk. I think it will be fair to say that the fishing out in Kananaskis on the streams may be a bit difficult and dangerous right now.

 

Went for a drive along Powderface Trail:
