Walleye, Migrating Geese and Some Good News

What a beauty of an afternoon! The thermometer climbed up to around 15C today as Karen, Doug and I fly fished for walleye on the Red Deer River. We caught several decent walleye too. We used silver minnows, candy corns, clouser minnows and wiggle worms. They all caught walleye!

The warm sun was great therapy today and the 1000s of migrating geese were quite the distraction at times!

Oh yes the good news. Doug and I swung by Dickson Trout Pond and it is ice free. 

Dickson Trout Pond today!

 

Oh No, ...That Icy Skin is Appearing

Several lakes and Ponds have added that icy arctic skin. Boo! A few spots are still good to go. Lakes and Ponds with aerators may have some open water. Remember that Sylvan and Gull Lakes are now closed until December 11th or so. Always check your regulations so you are doing it right!
