greatbigdiddy Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Check out this short film from back in 2012 when Deano and I spent a few days on this beautiful cutt stream catching hundreds of beautiful slashers in some amazing little holes and runs and riffles and when we returned last summer after the floods it really was unrecognizable car sized boulders completely gone buried beneath feet of gravel I presume ... we caught a few fish but nowhere near the numbers or sizes we caught the previous summer ... I hope it recovers sooner rather than later ... what do you think?? anyway have a watch and enjoy the pre flood cutty extravaganza!! 5 Quote
Gil Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 I fished that stream many times. I agree it was a bit of a bust last summer however I think they were mostly pushed lower into bigger water which did fish well last summer. By the end of the season things had improved up stream. 1 Quote
SilverDoctor Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 A lot of our streams and rivers have changed radically, Its like fishing new waters. Great vid, thanks for posting. 1 Quote
murray Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 That is a real nice video. It sure beats sitting here looking at the snow falling. I noticed you had a rather unique colored fingernails, I'm guessing your little girl had something to do with that. Murray 1 Quote
SilverDoctor Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Ah little girls... never fall asleep, especially with a gaggle of them around, you never know what will happen. 1 Quote
mcleod52 Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Nice video, thanks for sharing. Love the cut-throat fishing. Hope I get to head up that way to fish again this year. Stew 1 Quote

Taco Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 The flood nuked it, it's done as a decent fishin' stream for at least 25-30 yrs, not worth the longassed drive from Kalgree anymore. tic 1 Quote
trailhead Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Yeah my east Indian friend Bhinder Dondaht and I have fished it many times and last summer it was a bust. Too terrible to even post a report and I couldn't bring myself to take any pictures because it was a desolate waste. Not going for 20 years at least. So sad. Quote

I had finally just figured how..where and when to get some water to my self on this awesome stream. Quote
Taco Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Sorry diddy, I was bein' a smartass as in " Stay away so I can fish in peace" Although permanently changed by old Mom Nature about the only thing that can "destroy" a stream is mankind himself. It'll take a few yrs to recover not decades. Guess I coulda used j/k insteada tic "tongue in cheek" 1 Quote
trailhead Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Not even man can destroy a stream. The classic example is the Bow. The native Cutthroat and Bull Trout were extirpated over 100 years ago and now us humans call it a Blue Ribbon Trout stream, me I call it the "soapy bow". I have noticed that mankind has historically given itself way too much credit and nowadays the focus might have changed but the attitude remains the same. 1 Quote
