Bullies on a Small Creek


Troy and Steve were planning on spending the day at Cow Lake but the wind had a lot to say about that. It was not safe to launch the 12 foot jon boat so they headed further west to check on a creek with some bullies. It was nice to see a wide variety of age groups in the bullies that they caught. I am always amazed at the size of a bull trout relative to the size of the streamer they hit.

I hope that making bull trout a catch and release protected species in our province will in the long run allow them to be restored as a very prominate part of the natural food chain within our waters here in Alberta. All we need is a lot of cooperation from fishers province wide and untouched streams!

Thanks for the pictures guys. Looks like Plan B was fantastic!
