June 16 Opening Day

[bigalcal]

Well, Finally the day I've been waiting for is just a few days away. I will be going to North Ghost Provincial Recreation Area for our Annual Staff Camping trip. I'll bring me new G Loomis Streamdance and at least practice casting on Waiporous Creek. I know the Bow is good under these conditions but how will the other rivers be. Is it worth a try?

What's everybody else up to? and "No "you have to be specific!!

[trailhead]

Think I'll try for pike in Carburn

[SanJuanWorm]

I'll be giving free nymphing lessons to people named Al.

[Tako]

Definitely working. If you call electrofishing 'work'

 

But I will avenge on the 19th. Lots of water between Peace Reeva and Canmore!

[bigbowtrout]

I have the day off and will be heading to the high country to see what I can find and if the water is out of hand I will be at K or Wedge.

Really! I'd love to learn how to bait fish from the master. Let's book a day.

[Guest bigbadbrent]

i got a baaaaaaaaaaaad feeling about monday

[ladystrange]

from everything i'vee heard the rivers in S.A. suck rocks and other than the bow, really arent worth bothering. a few more weeks. i hope. i think i said that last year. i will give it a go on july 1st

[Guest bigbadbrent]

[gravelman]

Checked Waiparous creek yesterday and it is the regular flow of high and muddy for this time of year and the Ghost is running fast with glacial silt. It will be awhile until they clean up. later, Dekk

[trailhead]

Dogpound and the Little Red were the color of weak insipid coffee with milk.

[ham]

Ya i saw the dogpound and little red yesterday too, they werent lookin too nice

[grannyknot]

I'm stuck in Fort St. John and the rivers aren't any better up here. Heading to Jasper next week, hopefully I can find some decent fishing there. Managed to catch some dinky rainbows by Rainbow Lake the other day at least.

Stuff my way is looking like crap too. Lee creek in cardston... is muck... 5 times it's normal size. Makes it hard to hit the golf ball over it. Lost a few in there lol Waterton / St Mary both high and look like crap. Oldman was muck at ft mcleod on saturday. Yup there nothing down here that's fishable (cough)

[ladystrange]

brian... you'd fish chocolate milk if it had fish in it

[bigalcal]

Well as mentioned I was up in Waiporous the last few days and it was high and dirty. Next week I want to head down to the Gap and camp at Racehorse campground. Should I bother? What's the status of Racehorse, Upper Oldman and Livingston. Camping by yourself for a few days with no fishing might be a little boring. Peaceful ..yes.

[Hawgstoppah]

brian... you'd fish chocolate milk if it had fish in it

 

Indeed I would, but ... I need not fish chocolate milk at a few select locations

Ole's Lake had decent fishing when I lived near there. You could try Charlie Lake or Swan Lake for sharks. One Island Lake is famous for huge hard to catch rainbows. I've heard the chironomid fishing can be good there. I remember as a kid seeing huge 'bows cruise the shoreline in the evening after spending the day on the water and getting skunked.
