Very nice cutts, Jeremie.I am a bit envious. You see, I have been trying to get some cutts this summer, without success. I have been to the highwood twice so far and have got a bunch of rainbows, but not a single cutt! Go figure. I thought it would be a sure thing, but thats what is so appealing about fishing. You can never be 100% certain of anything, even cutties.

I hit the Elbow river in Calgary this morning for the first time this season. In 5 hours I put 5 trout in the net. 4 browns and surprisingly a tiny Rainbow, also (a rare catch for me in the city stretch). Nothing big (largest brown was 11 inches), all taken on tiny nymphs and dries. It is different from the Bow river,and a surprisingly nice change of pace from my usual day on the water. 5wt. rod, long fine leaders, very small flies, and intimate water. A prairie creek type of brown trout stream in the center of a major metropolitan city. Great stuff!

Wow! Is that ever a huge Brown trout. My best ever brown trout was caught in Glenmore reservoir. 11.5 pounds. A mere minnow compared to that guy!
