SteveM Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 Spent a morning at Pine Coulee Reservoir with my buddy & his 2 kids. The kids had never been fishing. Didn't take long for 'em to get it all figured out... The girl even got 2 at once! It was a fun morning. Then, this guy landed on my glasses to remind me to get back to fly fishing... So, I did just that. Next trip was with my buddy, Bill, to Rawson Lake in K-country. Saw mom & baby on the way... Bill & I took a few of these breaks on the hike up... I never get tired of this view... (Stick around...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 This moose swam straight down the middle of the lake... Bill gets his first look at Rawson Lake... Looking back toward the trail down to Upper K... Bill had never caught a fish on his fly rod; he missed a few dry fly takes... Gotta stop & smell the flowers... I picked up a couple on dry flies... Had far better luck when I went unconventional; micro-jig under an indicator during a downpour... (More coming...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 Bill switched to a streamer & soon had his first ever fly rod fish... We both picked up a few more... (Yep; lots more to come...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 We headed back down the mountain; stopped to fish Upper K for a little while. I got a cutty & this little bull... Saw this cool Police Car moth... Billy got one more nice cutt & we called it a day... Next up was some creek fishing with my bro'. He connected with the first fish of the day... No big fish, but steady action... (Cont'd...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveM Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 I'd already had a fun day, catching lots of little guys. Then, I fished here... This is not a little guy! 22" beauty; lots of fun on my 2wt! Thick fish... Back you go... I missed another big fish on the next cast. Few minutes later, left a fly in another on the hookset. Picked up a couple more fish... ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 Took my 16 month old nephew out for his first fish encounter. He was a little unsure at first, but was soon touching the walleye... Did a tour of some blown out creeks & rivers. Got skunked, but took some pics... Foggy day road trip music. Best. Album. Ever. ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveM Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 Had a week off work recently. It went like this: Sunday- half a day on the Highwood with Bigbowtrout. Monday- morning spent helping a family member move; evening spent on a creek with my pal, Jody. He went home, I slept in my car, and... Tuesday- fished another section of the creek. Wednesday- crap weather; stayed home & relaxed. Thursday- sat in a belly boat at Crawling Valley Reservoir & caught a bunch of walleye on jig & minnows. Friday- fished Gull lake with my buddy, Garth. Bigbowtrout schooled me on the Highwood. I got fish of the day, though. Have any of y'all ever caught a starfish in Alberta? Jody on the creek... Mostly fished hopper/dropper for the usual suspects... ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveM Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 Thursday; lots of little 'eyes, not many pics... Friday; Gull Lake- lots of small pike & some decent walleye... So ended my week off. Saturday & Sunday were spent with the family; back to work at 11 on Sunday night... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 Going back to work at 11pm on Sunday sucks arse. The good thing? I finished work for the week at 7am on Friday. Since the fellas I invited couldn't make it, I set out for a solo trip again. Decided to do something a little different. Tied on a streamer with a boatman behind it. Worked pretty good... Got a couple fish on the boatman; the streamer slayed 'em! ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 i got to watch this guy chase down the streamer & eat it right in front of me; very cool! This li'l rainbow's tail is about 2 sizes too big! ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 After fishing my way up the creek with a streamer, I switched to hopper/dropper & hit a few spots on the way back down. Much slower, but got a few fish... Finished the day with a couple whitefish on the dropper nymph... Hey, Monger; just imagine how many Elk Hair Caddis you could tie from these guys! That's it, folks. Until next time! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
