A bevy of Blue Charms

A couple of winged wet flies...

A Gaggle of goodies for a fellow chasing salmnoids in Eastern Canada.

It can be good, the fish there are very structure orinted.

You can solve the nymph rig problem by fishing dry flies.

This is the one that works up here as well as for the Sqwala hatches down south in the US. It floats low like the real one. They don't move very fast and just flutter on the water. The trout really seem to key into the segmented body. Note the female egg sack.

Yep, a bit backed up but I do, just pm me.

I'll be tying a doz. up tomorrow for the weekend. I'll post it then, the ones I have in my box are pretty darn chewed up.

Wonderful emergers, Love bunny for dries.

They must be somewhere along the watercourse. I've never pinched one and didn't see any during the electrofishing that we did a few years ago.

For anyone that wants to read the new Alberta Bull Trout Management and Recovery Plan you can download it here.

Its a HANAK Barbless Competiton Hook, they are strong. I really like them, It is a close up, I would say it's between a standard 18 and 20. I like em for really big browns as they hold well and don't straighten.

Tying up some Parachute Royal Coachman in #18. Bright posts for these old eyes.

When I got my Tennis elbow 14 ago double hauling was out. Switched to a Spey rod for streamers on big water. Worked great for that aspect. my elbow healed and I stay away from that cast using a variety of Spey casts on other rods now, although it seems cured. It did take years to heal.

Yep a few of us in the same boat.

Anyone wading in that area should use a GoPro to record the scene.

Here's a few more, beauty area.

Yes there is a boat launch. It is privat so you best phone beforhand. I fished there with my canoe a few years ago and they didn't charge me to launch but you best phone for details on a bigger boat. Stunning lake with lots of small rainbows.

There is a list of trails here at the Quaders association web site. Hope this helps. I reported 3 illegal OHV's last season.

From this link: It's the Law Ride on approved trails only Keep wheels out of streams, rivers, and lakes Wheeled or tracked vehicles are not allowed on beds or shores of watercourses, wetlands or waterbodies Driving in these areas produces harmful ruts and erosion problems. In addition, fine sediments stirred up by tires are harmful to fish. See: Take garbage with you - leave nothing behind Prevent start of a wildfire - keep your machine free of debris Limit your stay to 14 days Be sure your OHV is compliant. The unit must: Be registered Be insured Have a licence plate Have a head-light and tail-light Have an approved muffler. Know B4 U Go! Plan route - avoid waterways and shorelines Check weather – avoid wet trailsMost trail damage occurs after rainfall and snowmelt when trails are wet and soft. Be aware of closures Trail and Area Closures Do not create new trails Remember that cutlines are not necessarily approved trails. Steer Clear of pipelines. Leave all gates and fences as you find them. Contact leaseholder prior to travel on leased land. Call 310-ESRD for assistance. Best Practices Avoid exposed alpine terrain and wet, sensitive or steep areasRepeated travel in these areas creates damage that is very difficult to repair. Stay on established and well-defined trails even if in snow Off-trail driving leads to multiple braided or "bowled-out" trails. Off-trail tracks in snow pushes frost deeper into the ground, contributing to vegetation damage. Choose routes with the hardest, most durable surface Don't spin or skid Travel in small groups to minimize soil compaction and vegetation damage Reduce erosion - use low pressure, non-aggressive tires. Minimize sharp, low-radius turns - such manoeuvres tend to remove vegetation and plough topsoil. Respect reclamation and reforestation efforts - traffic in these areas kills vulnerable grass or tree seedlings. Be courteous and share the trail with other users - travel slowly and yield the trail to non-motorized traffic. Keep distance from wildlife. Remember: chasing wildlife is illegal. Don't cut or mark live trees - use only well-placed nylon (rather than steel) winch straps to avoid damage to bark. Wash your vehicle between uses to prevent transferring weed seeds between areas. Report illegitimate and illegal activity – contact 310-ESRD to report concerns.

Wonderful post

There are a lot of members of this forum that Petition Government, act as watchdogs and do hands-on work giving of their time and funds for our fisheries in one form or another.

they are online to become familiar with. http://www.albertaregulations.ca/fishingregs/

Fish it all the time, huge Browns, Cutties and Rainbows. I have to tie on my fly 100 yards from the creek under my jacket to keep them from leaping at it.

Some extened bodies for a fishing bud.
