flyangler Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I'm psyched. We're returning to Canada for our fishing vacation after two years of straying into Idaho and Montana. I liked Idaho better of the two, but have fond memories of the 5 or 6 prior adventures to BC and AB. Our first 5 days will be in the Fernie area, and then we're staying by the Castle and it's branches for the remainder of the time. Some Wisconsin friends who have never seen your beautiful country are traveling with us. We're driving up from Minnesota. It's been a long time since I've even lurked here, but I try to keep up to date on Lynn, Darren and sometimes even Tiana and that Bull Trout master on fb. I'll be tying Double Bunnies and heavy black stonefly nymphs for the bullies. I remember doing well with Lime Trudes and curiously small Coachman Stimulators with the cuttys. Also looking forward to tossing obscenely large hoppers, but we hate tying those. Any comments you'd like to offer as we prepare for our trip? Good microbrews available? Good values in dining out? Flies you can't live without? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyangler Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 No indeed. We've enjoyed a barley pop or two there in the Pass't. Still driving that magenta truck and chasing the steelhead? You wont be too terribly far from coleman for an evening forray into the "Rum Runner".. which has IMHO the pass's best food and best atmosphere.

trailhead Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Try Chris's in old Coleman, great burgers and quart sized milkshakes that they serve in in the big metal mixing jug, along side of your glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyangler Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 Looks unlikely, Lynn. However, we do plan to fish a couple of your favorites closer to the Pass. Wanna meet up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnF Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 That's too bad. May potentially be able to meet up depending on the dates. Lemme know what you're thinking and I'll see if something can work with my work schedule/days off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
