kingfisher29 Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 Third straight year down in southwestern Alberta & it just keeps getting better. I finally convinced my dad to join me this time around, second day there I get into this bull unexpectedly on my new 2wt rod, he went for my dropper a #16 bead head pheasant tail nymph, dont ask me why. This was the most exciment I've had landing a fish in some time, luckly for me my dad was near by and we were able to corner him & keep him from going down stream, Dad got a net under him but he powered his way out of that.The bull charges down stream, I hustle after him I'm not going to lose this fish they dont come around to often. I finally got him into some slower water he was tired as was I, what a fish. More pictures to come. Quote
