My front load washer has a cycle called hand wash. I turn my waders inside out and wash them with a small amount of soap then I turn them back and do one more wash. Hang to dry and repeat as needed.
I have luck using micro leeches in green, brown and black. All with gold bead heads.
I start with all three colours one under each other until I see a patern and go with two of the colour that is working.
So in the two days we spent up at Coral we had a group of seven horseback in to fish for a couple hours and we had a 74 year old guy show up Sunday after hiking in for two days. He said the hike sucked since he had to cross Coral Creek 22 times He set up camp with us and was gone first thing in the morning. The wind was bad when it was on but we had two hot and sunny days with lots of willing Golden trout to hand(Many in the 6-8" range and few bigger.Biggest was around 13"). I had great company and I can't say enough about the great service we had from Ice Fields. All in all it was worth every penny and ended up being a trip of a lifetime. I'm one lucky Dude
I cut loose from the hike early to head back to fish some more and to take some pics.
Then I remembered the Bobloblaw rule and needed to add some purty flower pics to the mix.
After a long days fishing we stayed up to witness one of the best and clearest nights I have ever seen. The stars were super bright and the temperature was a bit cool but not as cold as we thought it would be. Day two started with a nice bright sunny morning and some first light fishing.
Then we went on a hike
So we set up camp and then strung up the rods
I did not take long to get into some Gold using very small mayflys and gnats and 6 and 7x leaders.
We did really well on day one with over 20 fish landed each and many more misses. Time for a nap (And did I mention how windy it was? Well I'll let the rocks on my tent tell that story)
Well I'll start by saying that I'm not as good of a story teller as a few on here or like HopperDroppers Coral Lake report from last year but I'll give it a go. http://flyfishcalgary.com/board/index.php?...02&hl=coral A few weeks back I was surprised for my birthday with a trip to Coral Lake (Big thanks to my Bro Mark and my Dad(Dad golfs so stayed at home lol) So we picked a weekend and started planning the trip and found a third to come along. The one thing that kept on bugging me was from HopperDroppers report and how he was dropped at the wrong lake twice and the last thing I wanted was that to happen to us. Ice Field Heli reassured us all was well and they would get us to the right lake so all we could do was hope they were right. So we all met up at Icefield Helicopter Tours Heli-pad for our 9am flight and headed out.

The view of what I hoped to God was Coral lake After landing the boys wanted to set up camp.
I said screw that and ran down to the lake to see if I could spot any fish. Wow what a relief
