Not good news for the mountain rivers either. Another concern, is, if our rivers are going to experience a water shortage, I can't imagine what will happen south of the border, if they have a very dry, hot summer. Expect to see a lot of Washington, Idaho, Montana fishermen in southern Alberta this summer.

good thing you had them busted. maybe next weekend they can spend some of there free time at the mall. how quickly we forget what it was like to be young. maybe picking up some of the garbage and leading by example is to much to ask, from law enforcement.

Former cliff jumping booze drinking teenager - As we launched the boat on my July 3/09 float on the Missouri River, the local sheriff's dept. and, the Fish & Wildlife officer told us to look for a body as we fished down river, describing it as a cliff jumping booze drinking teenager. We did not see it, but a rafter found it 1/2 mile downstream later in the day. Pretty expensive drink, eh. yours truly, a responsible parent

fishinmagician - when did you fish the Alagnak? Upper or lower? Were you guided?
Sept.1-10 2008- I was supposed to do a combo Moraine Creek 3 1/2 days and 6 1/2 days on the Alagnak. 50 mph + winds prevented plane getting onto lake with access to Moraine, so I fished the Alagnak for 10 days. Started the trip at head of Nonvianuk R which is a tributary of the Alagnak. It was a guided float trip with 6 guys in 2 pontoon boats. Camped in 3 spots, and, most of the fishing was done walking and wading from the campsites. Fished thru and below the braids. Unfortunately it rained 10 straight days and water levels were the highest in the last 20 yrs. according to the guide. Fishing was still good, but would have been a lot better with normal water levels for this time of the yr. Majority of the fish caught size wise were similar to what we catch on the Bow. Caught a few silvers ie.reds, plus grayling in a few spots. Disappointed not to be able to fish Moraine as the fish there were a lot bigger on the trip I did in 2006 ie rainbows. I booked to do the combo trip again in 2009. Cost is $4900.00 plus air to Anchorage and into King Salmon. Guide was Paul Hansen with Alaska Rainbow Adventures.

I dont think you can say which is better than the other, they are different. I have fished The Missouri numerous times and I enjoy it because it can be more stalking individual trout & challenging. The Caddis can be so thick with fish rising everywhere you dont know where to cast next and what fly to use because you have used every caddis in your box.
I have also fished the Big Hole and caught Rainbows, Browns & Grayling the same day.
Also the Beaverhead is just awesome,Huge rainbows on tiny nymphs.
The Ruby is a small intimate little stream with gorgeous browns, but with challenges of it own with access restrictions.
The Madison is like they say one big riffle and fish can anywhere, the edges, or the middle & then fished the Yellowstone then the Jefferson.
We fished all these rivers in a week and caught fish in all of them. We were guided on some them & some not. It wasnt the numbers of fish or the size of the fish(because 1 river we only caught the one & I probably think of that 1 more than any of them) that made the trip, it was the scenery, the different water, the towns, the flyshops & the people.
Your last paragragh says what fishing should be all about. Unfortunately a lot of the fishermen on the Bow R. seem more concerned about numbers, size, pics, and, not the overall outdoor experience. This is coming from a guy who fishes a lot, doesn't catch a lot, but, has a great day anyway. I've done numerous trips like yours, some with little success, but all memorable experiences like yours. Headin to the Bow for another fun challenging day!

Fished Moraine Creek and Alagnak R. in Alaska. More fish and bigger fish ie [rainbows targeted only] than Bow R. but it cost $6000.00 to do it for 10 days camping on the rivers and floating! Will be fishing the Gunnison R., Madison R., Gallatin R., Missouri R., Frying Pan R. next summer and will report comparisons with Bow R., and other Alberta streams.

Ok I use 2 or more flies almost always whilst nymphing.
The better question is.................who has caught more than one fish at a time?
The best question is................how many times do 2 hooks end up in one fish at a time?

You can walk to the foot of the lake in a few hours from the main hwy..As mentioned the hike from the valley up to the the lake is very steep and you want to pack lightly. Never saw any fish over 12 inches as the lake is not that productive but there may be a few bigger ones..There are a few dams at the bottomin valley and they have lots of nice 10 inch fish that you can sight cast to. Let us know how you make out..
By a few hrs. do you mean 2 or 3 or more. I would like to fish these lakes this summer. Tks.

Ask at the fly shops about the Yampa and the Frying Pan rivers. There are 2 Orvis stores in Denver as well as numerous other excellent fly shops. Check the phone book.

Thanks for the tips on flies. I went there on Sat. a.m. I fished for an hour without any luck but I blame that all on my inability to cast more than 40 or 50 ft. not on the flies. There were lots of fish rising but they were out farther than my limited skills would allow me to cast. I don't have a tube but am considering buying one. Would appreciate any suggestions. It was a beautiful spot to fish especially with no one else around. Drove to Livingstone after but it was too crowded. Thanks again.

Bear pond, go to the very far end of the lake if you have a tube, there is a lot of deadfall, so you'll likely snag, but there are also a good grouping of grayling that like the spot, pheasent tails, brent bugs, prince's, really any trout nymph works. Griffith gnats are prime for ontop

What flies should we use for catching grayling in Bear pond? Thanks
