Fishing For Bull Trout

[flytyer101]

Hey guys i've been fly fishing and tying for a couple years now. I've managed to land some nice 18" cutbows in the oldman and race horse area and was wondering in anyone could tell some rivers or creeks that would hold some nice size Bullies to start off with. ANy how to fish the stream and with which patterns. Thank guys i appreciate it.

Buy a backroads map book, do a search on this forum about flies (this same question was asked last week) and start exploring some streams. It's a lot more exciting and you have a greater sense of pride in your accomplishment if people don't spoon feed you a bunch of information on where to fish and how to catch them.

 

You haven't caught a bull on the Oldman? Get a 7 wt. and tie some bunny bugs, double bunnies and clousers...find a deep hole and have fun.

 

You won't find many people willing to tell you where to catch "some nice size bullies". Truly big ones are hard to come by (in Alberta) and people don't like to give that information out to just anyone.

 

Work for it...you'll enjoy it more in the end.

 

Cheers,

 

James

flytyer101,

 

its good to have another kid my age (i'm 13) fly fishing, about bulls just bunny bugs, clousers, etc anything that looks like food and thats of good size will work.

 

As for places to fish start off in the deep holes in the oldman, also read up on place where they are because most cutties streams have em just look for deep holes and get the streamer down they're and you might even catch some big cutts!

 

anyways have fun
