Hi Everybody!
Several of our gang just returned from a trip to the trophy waters in the Parkland Region of Manitoba. We were dealt a mixed bag of weather this year. We did have some beautiful weather days but the wind and thunderstorms kept us off balance. Nevertheless the fly fishing was excellent. Many members of our club camped in the area and several of our group stayed at Arrow Lake Lodge with Phil Rowley and Flycraft Angling Adventures. We encountered some amazing chironomid action as well as working the shoreline looking for browns and rainbows that were chasing forage fish. We had to change our tactics almost on a daily and sometimes hourly basis but that made the rewards even greater.
The best part of the trip as always is the friends who come together to have a great time.
Here is a short video of a big brown trout caught by Pauline Loos. Pauline comes out every year and she always tags into some amazing fish!
These angry clouds made us walk the shoreline of Patterson Lake one afternoon. We were glad we did because the fly fishing was amazing.

Doug with a beauty of a brown trout. Tokaryk Lake had a great chironomid action that day. The interesting part is how many browns we caught.
The food is always fantastic!
Twin Lakes tiger trout!
Stalking browns and rainbows along the shoreline is one of my favourite things to do on the lakes in Manitoba.

Karen really wanted to fire up the 40 hp but it was electric motors only that day.
Karen caught this beauty over a sunken island area at Patterson Lake.
It is amazing to me that a 10 pound rainbow will eat a size 12 chironomid. What a trophy Larry.

Perfect day!
