If the water comes down by the time I get to Calgary I'll be swinging my 10'6' 7wt Beulah switch rod. It casts well as a small steam spey rod or overhead out to about 100'. Unfortunetly when I was out in early December with the 2 hander (13' 8wt) the river was pretty hard (-30) so didn't get a chance to cast it. Spey casting for steelies will probably be the only thing that I will miss about the Island when I move.

I think you mean the Brunette River, flows out of Burnaby lake through New Westminster, lots of small cutties, odd rainbow and recently bass . Used to fish it a lot as it was close to home and always gave up a few scrappy fish on a 3wt.
