Whitefish on the Fly on the Red Deer River


The whitefish on the Red Deer River are lots of fun! Sometimes we get too wound up about brown trout and trout in general and forget to fly fish for all species in the Red Deer River. Find a riffle-drop run and chances are you will tangle with a whitefish or several. Get you size 16 nymph down, use split shot or even "drop shot" (put the split shot at the bottom and add tags of line above with you flies attached). The whitefish on the Red Deer River can be very large and are great fighters!

Today we went to target walleye but they did not want to play so we switched up to targeting whites on the fly. Great fun and right out your back door!
