I casted the 5wt BVK, it's a sweet rod. I don't think you could gone wrong with the 6wt. A pflueger trion or president reel would work great for you. Amundson TXS or Trend also in your price range. Orvis mid arbor reels

I find it helps to have a heavy fly above the chironomid when bobber fishing. You can then set the depth perfectly with your forceps and the line will be straight down. If you plan on swinging the flies in a wind, over an arc, your depth will be less precise but if the fish are active it may not be a problem. Anchors are essential.

Great show, thanks for that. Darn rocks!!!

It is a sport if you zip across the lake, push Sundance out of the way and then cast over his line to intercept the rising fish. Once you net the fish you get 2 points....definitely a sport!!!!

You mean I can't just put my boat in the middle of the river, drop a worm in, and float down without ever touching the oars???? I thought this was the new way to guide.

Sundance only gets quiet while he is landing one of these....until it is in the net

Here's a couple to look at: Nautilus Orvis mirage

Awesome. There used to be a 27" brown that lived there. Good to see some guys toughing it out in the crappy weather for a fine prize.

You often see some orange under the jaw when rainbows are eating lots of scuds

Good secret spot....hope you don't get in trouble being there

Very complicated fly...silver bead and then six smaller tungsten beads (#12 2457). Perch can be so picky.... The high tech reel seat could be a bit better on this rod model

Jared, first fish hooked was about an 8 lber. During the fight the 4 lb test cut through the rubber supporting the marmish tip, but I did get him up the hole. The tiny reel was singing on some runs. I have now inserted a old rod tip top into the rubber piece so I'm set for next monster fish.

I don't think there is many options for different races of rainbows at the Sam Livingstone hatchery. The rainbows present in Lower Kan are from an old stocking. Alberta fish culture is not as diverse as things are in BC. Recent stockings have been with Cutts. I believe the Cutts usually come with Job Lake genetics. Gaffer, there is also an established Mysis shrimp population in both U and L Kan lakes. This food source is highly desirable for both trout and char.

I've been practicing my perch spey cast all afternoon. I think I'll be ready to land the chironomid in the hole by the weekend.

For those hard to fool Perch. Complete with marmish super slow action tip

Thanks guys. Haven't had the chance to chase chrome yet, but gathering info. I like your modification Riley...sounds the most durable

What line do you use to tie in the stinger hook?

Alberta needs more rainbows over 24"....K -lakes is a place where it can happen. I'm in!

Naw, it's just where Steve usually snags them when bait fishing (then he tries to blame it on some 'natural' event) Thanks for the photos. It's time for the Burb fest soon

Use Photobucket

Congrats on the harvest. Where's the picture?

Steve, I got the fur..........tenderloins for supper tomorrow. Nice view from fur collecting spot

Red sky at morning....roosters take warning This week it's elk time. Need some materials for caddis (those are DRY flies Boblob)
