Hi All,
I wonder if I could ask for a little advice from the members of this forum? Last September I visited Alberta for the first time and fished the Livingstone/upper Oldman and Castle/Carbondale areas. Absolutely loved the fishing, scenery, and comraderie of fellow C&R fly fishers (I'm a bit of an oddity here in NB as one of a very few C&R trout fishermen... everyone thinks I'm nuts to release all my fish).
I had planned a return visit August 16 - 23, and was going to spend the first 2 days exploring the Highwood/Cataract area and then the rest back on the Livingstone/Oldman/Castle/Carbondale (based out of the Pass). I see the FTR is closed in the latter areas, so I was wondering if the Highwood/Cataract area is enough to keep a guy busy for a whole week?(never been there before). Or perhaps there are equally stunning fishing opportunites in Central Alberta? Or perhaps I shouldn't come at all as the fish are too stressed now?
Not looking for directions to anyone's hot spot, and all fish will be quickly released unharmed, but I would appreciate any advice. Feel free to PM if you prefer.
My tickets are a real pain($$$) to change, but I could try to re-schedule for September if coming now is a really bad idea.
Thanks to all,
Neil
