Early Spring Fly Fishing in Southern Alberta


Larry and Bob have been tracking the weather the last week just waiting for their opportunity to make a dash to the Crowsnest Pass to fly fish. The gear has been sitting at the door ready and finally the opportunity presented itself. That means the wind and weather might be tolerable to get the casting arm going. We started off on the Oldman River. It was windy but we did catch half a dozen rainbows by lunch time. The wind was rocking and the chinook arch was right over our heads so we decided to spend the afternoon on the Crownest River. It was a great decision because the fishing on the Crow was excellent. We caught lots of rainbows, a few rockies, a cutty and even a bull trout! Luckily we escaped the wind while on the Crowsnest River for a few hours. Today is the first day of spring and of course we have a storm! The Alberta fly fishing season got off to a tremendous start for Larry and Bob!

Time to dig out the gear!
