Guest phartknocker Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 These two fish grabbed me. http://www.discoverthepeacecountry.com/htm...swanlakeab.html Black crystal Carrey's (preferably with peacock sword tails) on clear intermediate lines work tremendous. Ditto for burgundy leeches. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Thanks for the insight on the pattern. I like the use of the peacock sword in the tail, killer. Nice fish too, glad to see there are still some nice slabs running around in Swan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice fish too, glad to see there are still some nice slabs running around in Swan. Agreed! Living in Fox Creek affords me the benefit of making daytrips to Swan and late May-early June was a blast. Some of the longtime visitors have said that the fish size has decreased and we'll have to live with that. It's great to have a quality chironomid lake that is reminiscent of my former home, Tunkwa Lake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLeod Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Now this is a prime example as to why more and more trout lakes in Alberta should have there regulations adjusted to create better quality fisheries. Again we can list the benefits but most of those responsible refuse to get there asses in gear and improve Alberta's fisheries. Nice fish , congrats ! Agreed!

Bowbiker Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Cool!! Nice/great looking fish. We spent a week up there in June, but never ran into anything like that! Any chance of seeing a pic of the Carey Special with the Peacock Sword tail. We wanna get ready for next summer's trip. Thanks a lot, Dick Seymour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monger Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Nice fish. I can't believe that male is so dirty already. His testes are going to explode before May Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sundancefisher Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Nice fish. I can't believe that male is so dirty already. His testes are going to explode before May Nice fish though clearly not triploids. While not chrome...they do have color and character Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnk Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Nice fish though clearly not triploids. While not chrome...they do have color and character I've seen lots of strains fo 3N's that retain the spawning colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monger Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I believe the males still will get colored up but the females stay chrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
