monger Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Ain't it great to drive for 4 hours so that you can get frustrated. You just need another 400 flies to choose from Was everyone else struggling as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duanec Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 was pretty inconsistent for everyone, a few hot rods here and there for an hour or so, then zip. oh and the weather was really nice as we broke camp to leave. good stress management though. nice place to hang for a week. friggin lakes.

Taco Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 don't look @ me, I couldn't catch a decent friggin' stocker down @ the local gawdamned put and take slough. 1 for frigging 4 tries, I was so excited to finally catch a 15" fish that I ended up locking my keys, cell phone and pants w/the spare key in my wallet in the damned truck, thank god for onstar and some stranger's cell phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Had pretty good luck fishing small flashback pheasant tail nymphs right in the surface film lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 No troubles catching fish at the community lake. About 3 hours of fishing netted 17 fish. Green a good color, leeches, dragons, small minnow patterns... Friggin lakes indeed... Smitty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishfreak Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Little (size 18) white flies were working well for me and the small risers at a pond in the Calgary area. I couldn't catch anything after they stopped rising though. I got skunked at Allen Bill Pond, but that was because I only fished (casted?) for about 5 minutes before the thundershowers rolled through.
