SNAPFisher Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Spent a decent amount of quality time at Maligne Lake in Jasper in June and just the past long weekend. It can be a pretty magical place to take it all in...oh and the fishing was excellent. Wildlife viewing is always awesome. In June we saw mountain goats, sheep, elk, deer, black bear, moose and all sorts of bird life. A less than timid squirrel Great fish viewing opportunities as well. Bows attempting to spawn The kind of fish watching I could do for hours....and did More to follow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrinhurst Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 That's a great video! I could watch that for hours myself. Were they spawning or just in a feeding lane? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNAPFisher Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 That's a great video! I could watch that for hours myself. Were they spawning or just in a feeding lane? Both. They were actually spawning. I had never seen it in "action" before. The male was vibrating next to the female and then the female would turn sidways, beat the gravel and release. We missed timing on those pics, didn't have the camera. Other than a few of them the rest were there to feed. They were rising regularly for bugs which was also great to see with that vantage point. Northfork, hot flies were a black and brown maribou leech, double shrimp and cronimids. Yeah, they call me "smiley" sometimes. Can't wipe the permanent grin I have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandi Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Awesome pics, SNAPfisher. I was around last winter and the scenery looked a bit different. That video is great! I watched trout (and grayling) behavior for a week and could not get enough of it. (We have brown water here in south Finland, so one need to travel a bit to fish clear water.) They were more territorial than I thought so. Those wildlife photos are great! (Love the close-up on the squirrel.) What camera do you shoot with?

It is a mix in there but all the wildfife are a Konica Minolta...I think a Z2 ...something like that. It is ancient by todays standards, 4 megapixels. It does do a nice job though of close ups. I think the latest one if a Z7 or 8. They are mid-cost cameras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
