Do you recognize this southern AB fish? And it's not a Cuttbow because it has some orange on it. Good camera angle on a big fish

But which rock do I stand on and where should I cast which fly?

What a fine tribute. Thanks for the pic Gary. Looking forward to spending a moment there.

Great growth right there. Good show Clive

Sorry troutlover I don't understand the "x tippet" thing....6lb Maxima might work though (must be about 1x so I am fancier than 0x at the river...0x is for stillwater

Shhh danhunt. Real fisherman are sponsored by Sage or Loop or some other company. I'm sponsored by Aldrich

Sage....camera ON hanging from my mouth...no net...drop rod, slide fish in by the leader....picture, hook out, and gone. Don't even have to touch them. Can't seem to find one with a blue spot on the operculum. That is the quest

How many caddis does it take to get this fat

I hear the fish are happily eating dries

I've just used about 3ft of 6lb Maxima at the end of my 9ft leader for years in lower light. During the day I might go up to a 12ft leader. A good drift is more important than leader size I believe

Looks like a great trip Clive. Thanks for sharing the memories. Looks like weather was pretty good too. Was the ice off really early this year?

No, no they are saving the river.... What does an all knowing guide cost to watch you throw a streamer at a Bull trout anyway?

Very surprised they didn't stock in April like many other spots. Maybe worried about fish all going to freezers before June. It is a dry, warm year. There will be more stressed fish

You old guys are so wise

It's OK Taco...just sightfishing to stupid lake fish eating dries... MR San Juan...my personal bait is off limits

fish will swim right into your lap

Fungus infections often show up as a secondary infection after some stressor, tissue damage and/or bacterial infection. Once the fish's resistance is down/compromised, the fungus can get a foothold. You often see fungus post-spawn, but as the fish regain their health their immune system rises to the occasion to win the battle....sometimes not

Sharing the passion with new folks, especially family is awesome. Great day Murray

Clever bcube

Thanks for the slide show Rick. Sounds sweet. Not quite Bow river whitefish good, but probably enjoyable

Great pics man. Avocets are well dressed

Buddy got a great pic
