What a picture perfect day. The warm air spilling over the eastern slopes made the Central Alberta area pleasantly warm, almost summer like. You could even see a chinook arch in the western sky! The trees are all dressed up in their fall splendour and that made for an amazing backdrop for our day on the water. Karen and I arrived a bit late and after we launched the boat, we had a go at some rainbows eating scuds right against the shore. We landed two. Once out on the water, we fished about 13 feet down with scuds. We did very well. Our throat samples from the plump, well conditioned rainbows included shrimp, both the large and small kind, bloodworms, leeches and boatmen/backswimmers. The rainbows are bulking up for winter, it is a wonderful time to be a lake fly fisher. Enjoy!
