Lots of awesomeness in your 2015, GingerWhiskers! Thanks for that!

Sure was! Let's not wait 'til next summer to get out again; we'll go harass some Bow River fish during the fall/winter!

Murray ended the day with a brookie, making 4 trout species between us. Last fish of the season from the creek was a decent brown who ate a big foam hopper right up against a beaver lodge; great way to end the year- can't wait to see what next year brings!

It's that time of year again. Lots of good water closed until mid-June. Murray & I headed to one of those creeks for the last day of the season. We caught a few fish, I took some pics... Even got some looking up... Murray hooked up with a cutty... I got this cutty with a pretty serious heron divot in his back...

Might have to go try for another meeting on Saturday, if the weather is decent. I love this place...

...we've already had our third date!

I had my fishing gear in the trunk of my car yesterday. Was thinking about hitting the Bow when I got off work at 3pm. Drove to the river, listened to the game on the way. Decided to go home & watch the game instead. Sure glad I did. It was epic in so many ways. Even the idiot "fans" couldn't ruin it...

C'mon, Pete; you know it's not polite to stare at another man's Busch...

Incredible tanks! Amazing, good sir!

Nice! Looks like a hella fine 4-day weekend, dude! Hardcore!

Believe it or not, a most excellent fellow brought that net all the way from new Zealand for me; got me a heckuva deal on it, too. I don't want to embarrass him by going on & on about what a phenomenal dude he is, so I won't say who it was; I'll just say that it was a Flyfishcalgary member. ...and, I quoted him in this comment. ...and, he's not dirty. You forgot about the knife blades on the cheeks. First one I ever caught sliced me open pretty good. he was delicious!

Thanks lots!

Thanks, guys; glad y'all enjoy the pics; it's been a fun summer!

Not sure if I've had any repeat customers??? Been getting 'em from different spots every time out.

FFC's resident brookie-slayer, Taco... Until next time, my friends... Peace! -Steve

My wife fished for the first time in about 19 years; she caught some cutties...

My 3 year old nephew wanted to catch a fish... Who could say "no" to that face? Not me; wife & I took him to Pine Coulee Reservoir; he got his first fish & a bunch more... This was his reaction when I told him to kiss the fish... Then, he went in for the french kiss... Of course, he spent more time throwing rocks than he did fishing... It was a super fun day!

Hey, y'all... Here' are some pics from the last little while... My wife has joined me on the water a bunch of times this summer; we've been having a great time out there! One of my favorite pics...

Another great set of photos, Neil. I particularly like this one. It appears as though the happy little canola field is doing it's damnedest to hold off that big ol' nasty storm cell! Epic!

Yup, watching 3 cutties fighting to be the first to get to your chenille worm can be exciting, fer shore! BTW, I read your latest blog entry yesterday. Good stuff; now make with Part Dos!

Am I allowed to nymph for cutties?
