reevesr1 Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Next day, we headed up to a hike in lake. The hike was around 3 KM, and mostly uphill. We were rewarded with some willing cutties, and some spectacular scenery. We only stayed up there for a couple of hours. Next time, we'll spend the day! We had a blast, but I realized that my brother had not caught a fish over 12" during the trip. So at 10PM last night, we headed to the bow for a quick night fish. As we were starting, my brother said "this might be a bit above my pay grade." I told him casting distance isn't much of a deal, it's all about location. On his first cast, I heard the tell tale splash and said "did you feel him?" "Feel what?" "You didn't hear that fish?" "What fish?" So he makes another cast, and he sure heard and felt that one, but he was only hooked up for a couple of seconds. This is the outcome of cast 3: I didn't measure, but it was right in the 20" class and fat. Didn't do anything spectacular, but it gave him an idea of the power of these fish. But after 3 hits in 3 casts, we didn't bring up another fish and was home by midnight. Had him at the airport at 5:15 tired, but already planning the next trip! Quote
SanJuanWorm Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Nice pics Rick. Glad he had fun. He'll be moving here sooner or later im sure. Damn Texans polluting out Alberta. Next thing you know they'll let all those Manitobans in. Quote
Pipes Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Rick, We were at that lake on Saturday. Spent most of the day there. Great day, lots of people. Quote
SNAPFisher Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Great times! Love that country. Those lake shots are pretty much breathtaking. Thanks for posting with the pics. Glad you had a great time with the bro and family. Very nice! Quote
birchy Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Awesome Rick!! Glad the bro was able to hook into a few on his first go around! Quote

We spoke to some of the fishermen and they seemed to be doing ok. My wife absolutely loved it and we will probably go back soon. Quote

My wife absolutely loved it and we will probably go back soon. I was one of the two in the tubes. My brother was in the one that decided to burst near the end of the day. It's worth haulin' a tube up, we had a pretty productive day. Quote
