wongrs Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Took a few days off last week and went to BC and came back to fish some water in Alberta. Man, is licensing expensive in BC. For 2 days of fishing it cost us 84 bucks or so as we were on classified waters (St Mary and Elk). The St Mary was a total bust but the Elk delivered some nice cutts, bulls and scenery. Thanks to those who offered advice on access points on the Elk. Some pics in no particular order. The pics aren't great but it was a good trip nonetheless.

OneMoreLastCast Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I can't wait to get down there in September. I've already got my BC license, so I'll have to suck it up and only pay the classified fees. The St Mary can be a tough one if you don't know the right access points. It makes for a great float though, as well as the Elk. Good to hear you had a nice trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castuserraticus Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I haven't fished the Elk since the new costs came in but it's an itch that will have to be scratched. I did it my pontoon boat before and that was interesting - trying to avoid rocks while fighting a fish - I just about fell in trying get the pontoon on line with where I wanted to go. It's sure a fun river. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wongrs Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 the burning man didn't do so hot. i got a few fish on the fly but on riffly water it basically looks just like a skating chernobyl ant. i think i'll just tie ants from now on.
