Panorama Vacation

[reevesr1]

Here are some shots from my Panorama trip to date. We've only really fished one day, today, in the rain. It was awesome to get out with both of my sons and to have my youngest to fly fish on his own a bit. It was pretty tough casting with lots of cover behind and very, very fast water in most places. We did get a few, but couldn't really find anything looking up. Anyway, here are some shots.

 

And to those who are asking where to fish around Invermere, Radium... all you have to do is get a mapbook and go explore The fishing is just fantastic here. Fish are where fish are supposed to be! The only down side right now is finding fishable water cuz everything is still high and very fast. But find a pool, or a slower moving run, and you'll find fish.

Sweet. That's an awesome area Rick. Too bad I've only golfed it and not fished it.

 

Is that the river that runs by the road on the way up to Panorama?

Looks like a great vacay, so far, Tex!

Keep us posted with plenty o' pics, please!

BTW, I ain't never seen a frog with a tail before...???

I'm guessing it's an adolescent & the tail will fall off @ some point???

Have fun, buddy!

Peace out!

Are those thingamabobbers?Rick you have to teach your sons that thou shall not nymph dry fly water.Or at least remove the bobbers sheesh.

FNG-

No. A bit further south.

 

Teck-

Not classified water, though there is plenty of that up here too.

 

Tungsten-

Elitist!

Actually, we did dry fly fish quite a bit. It was not productive at all. We did not see a fish come up all afternoon as it was rainy/very overcast and like 18. I will say the I had one hit my indi and so did Ben. We both switched over to dries again, but it seems all they wanted was orange and round!

Made it out on Tuesday with timj and his son Matt. Fishing was ok, company was excellent. My son Ben caught most of the fish. He kills me when we dry fly fish, which is perfectly ok with me. Here is a little cuttie and Ben hooked up, again.

 

Made it out golfing at Greywolf on Wed. I stuck one inside of 3 ft on #6, which is supposedly the most photographed golf hole in Canada. That's my ball less than 3 ft away. Missed the putt though. Story of my golf life. Below that is the view from #4 box:

 

 

Leaving Panorama today, back to Calgary for a quick turnaround, then off to Houston Saturday! Some saltwater fish on the fly rod are in my immediate future!

LOL... did you breathe in or out on the backstroke on that putt?

Damn you Rick! I'm not sure what I am more jealous of.....the fishing.....or the golfing!
