  1. I'm no expect either, but I have found swinging big flies for summer run fish very effective. You can cover a lot of water fast, without missing any sections and it's damn fun. I have heard of guys nymphing in really low clear water (spooky fish) conditions, like they sometimes have high up on the Kispiox, but you rarely see anyone nymphing. Up in BC you do see the occassional gear guy, and they always say they do well, so if definitely works!

  2. Thanks guys, it really was a great trip. The heavy rain hit the night I got in (50mm), but I drove hours in every direction to find the cleanest water possible. Luckily the first km of Secret River 238694 was clear, and some of the upper stretches of other rivers were fishable so it wasn't a total loss. Definitely not the same numbers as last year, but I take what i can get.

     

    I'll post some pictures of the "not so nice" water conditions when I get a chance so you get an idea of how bad it really was...lol

  3. Here are a few highlights from this years trip. All rivers were high and off-colour making fishing quite challenging, but still had a great time!

    Tight Lines!

  4. I have fished a few big pools over the past 3 weeks and found that the fish are literally everywhere in the pool. But, it definitely seems like the bigger fish sit in the deepest part of the pools, but not always!!! The key is getting down, I think I averaged about 2 lost flies per hour, which I can live with.

     

  5. Thanks guys, It was an epic day. Couldn't keep em off the line. I just love it when that happens! I think I caught every fish in the river: Cutt, Bow, Cuttbow, Bull, and whitey! Good times :)

  6. Nice ties Guys! I'm still kind of a newbie tyer, but I got this recipe off the Alberta Outdoorsman Forum (can't remember his name), but i'm sure he's on here too. I think he called it "Red Lightening". Thought I'd give it a shot. Thanks for the pattern!
