Maligne Lake, June 4-5, 2010

I drove to Edmonchuk Thursday evening. My friend, Randy, & I left for Jasper @ 2:45am with Randy's 18' freighter canoe in tow. A breakfast stop in Hinton, & straight to Maligne Lake. Fishin' spots don't get much purtier than this, friends...

Fantastic fishing in a gorgeous setting with a good partner; what more could a man ask for??? Well, except for a weekend camped out at the end of the lake this fall...(already in the planning stages!) I can hardly wait!

Great photos, BobLobLaw. Nature in Jasper NP looks amazing! I was there only in winter and that was quite different.

I see you guys were prepared, fish locator, cooker, etc. It must have been an awesome trip and hopefully many more to come in this season.

I usually hit Medicine in Oct WOW looks like I might have to revisit Maligne in the spring. I love that area and I when my Brother lived in Jasper I would go 4 or 5 times a year now I’m lucky to go once a year. I’m a thinking it’s time to change that.

 

Thanks for the pics.

 

PS if you ever need someone to split gas with drop me a line. ;)

Some amazing photos there Steve. By that way, I have booked off June 16, 17, and 18 and was thinking of fishing a certain little creek. Are you available any of those days?

 

I wish. :crybaby:

I'm kinda hooped for holidays this year. Maybe if I quit my job...

I'll be looking forward to a report, though; hope it fishes well for ya.

Trolling with a fly rod? Man you may as well start bait fishing eh??? LOLOL

 

I'm just kiddin man... nice pics... that looks like a lot of fun. Fresh brookies in the pan... can you beat that? I can't think of anything better..

 

"Start" bait fishing??? When did I stop? :angel:smail:

 

Actually, we troll 'cuz that's how Randy fishes Maligne & what he knows. He supplies the canoe, the local knowledge, a discount on a place to stay (his wife's uncle owns Jasper House Bungalows), & a thousand stories & laughs. Least I can do is let him decide how we fish; especially since it works! :thumbup:

Thanks for the positive comments, guys; it's so gorgeous up there- I highly recommend it.

 

Monger- Maligne is great, but I'm still all about the creek fishing, brother.

 

Snap- sorry I missed ya; we'll meet on some water someday! Feel free to post pics from your trip...
