SteveM Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 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... (More to come...) Quote
SteveM Posted June 8, 2010 Author Posted June 8, 2010 We got hit by some of this (pea size)... Just put up our collars & kept on fishin'! Lunch break... We ate real good... Randy's wife made beef/moose stew & froze it for us to take; so freakin' good! We also caught some fish. Some of these... (More to come...) Quote
ÜberFly Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 Steve, What's that thing in front of the egg sucking leech? P Quote
SteveM Posted June 8, 2010 Author Posted June 8, 2010 We also caught a whole buncha these... Just for Taco- "Catch & Release...Into the Grease!!!" A great coupla days spent aboard the "Aaralyn Emily"; Randy named his canoe after his granddaughter... Looking back at Jasper National Park. 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! Quote
SteveM Posted June 8, 2010 Author Posted June 8, 2010 Steve, What's that thing in front of the egg sucking leech? P It's a "Wigglefin ActionDisc"; it gives a trolled fly a nice, lifelike action. Quote
SteveM Posted June 8, 2010 Author Posted June 8, 2010 nice. love that lake Yeah, I'm rather fond of Maligne, too; looking forward to my next trip. Quote
ÜberFly Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 Appearantly it works well!! Looks like an awesome trip! Cheers, P It's a "Wigglefin ActionDisc"; it gives a trolled fly a nice, lifelike action. Quote
Ayr Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 Hi Steve, Thanks to you and Randy for sharing your trip with us with some good pics! Maybe we'll see you up there next time. Cheers, Ayr. Quote
Heimdallr Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 Thanks for sharing! A good variety of shots and it looks like a great time. Quote
Bandi Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 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. Quote
bigbowtrout Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 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. Quote
Hawgstoppah Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 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.. Quote
kungfool Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 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? Quote
SteveM Posted June 9, 2010 Author Posted June 9, 2010 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. 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. Quote

Fresh brookies in the pan... can you beat that? I can't think of anything better.. "Start" bait fishing??? When did I stop? 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! Quote
monger Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 Great shots Steve. Looks like a trip full of fine memories. Never mind the creek fishing, the elk ate all the fish last fall. Quote
beedhead Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 Very nice pics, and great post...Thanx... Cheers...Jeff.. Quote
SNAPFisher Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 Hey Steve! Nice pics indeed. Great stuff! Missed you by a hair. I was there from the 1st to the 4th. Ice was still on the lake on the 1st and 2nd. Some amazing fishing though - best I have seen there. Cheers! Quote
daxlarsen Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 awesome pics man, what a beautiful country we live in, you did a nice job capturing some of it. Quote
SteveM Posted June 14, 2010 Author Posted June 14, 2010 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... Quote
