Pics from the 2016-2017 Season

[fishfreak]

Well, it was another great year of fishing.  I thought I'd share some pics highlighting my season.  I'm sorry for those that might take offense to these, but I do enjoy other peoples' pictures, so I hope you enjoy mine.  No secret spots have been revealed with these pics.

Let's start with some pond trout.  These guys were super easy to catch when they were first stocked, but got harder and harder to catch as the season went on.

Here are some from various streams that I went to this year:

A couple of underwater pics.  In early September, I saw a big dark thing underwater so I got a closer look.  It was a big 30+ inch bull trout.  I took a few pics and then left it alone.

And finally, the mighty Bow River.  This was probably my best summer/fall on the Bow.  The biggest thing for me was not using a large wire worm and forcing myself to try other things.  I had the most success in water less than 3 feet deep using various nymphs without any split shot.  I found this to work quite well staying above the weeds.  The Bow is one amazing river, and we are very lucky to have it flowing right through our city!

I use the Huge Thumbnail setting on imgur.com to get the big pics.  I had to make the switch from photobucket this summer.
