Greg. The Bighorn flows right out of the bottom of a large reservoir--very cold water from the bottom. Even if it is 30C outside the water is still very cold for wet wading. Dave, did you see any carp in the afterdam or in the river? Did you use some small sowbugs?

Some Mustads will rust. Dai-riki are very brittle. Daiichi and Tiemco are quite good. Mustad signature series supposed to be good.

The population is not as threaten in BC

The upper lake bulls came from the hatchery. Lower lake ones came out of S-D creek

The lightening show was awesome tonight as I sat in my tube fighting fat pond fish.

Randy you can also tie a parachute caddis so it sits lower in the surface film. Use turkey for the wings instead of hair.

That looks awesome. Those guys are very skilled archers. Reminds me of when we used to hunt pike with the bow

Try some smaller flies, like #16, #18 sow bugs and scuds. The good old worm works as well. The fish are big and fat just like their countrymen . There is also some monster carp in the backwaters for more techinical fishing.

They stocked Sundance lake with triploids this year as well. It will be interesting to see what the fish look like in 3,4 and 5 years. The trout and perch were very interested in damsel fly nymphs today.

Try it in a few shades of green as well and you'll have a good pattern where there is sedges
