Downtown on the Red Deer River


Oh baby it is hot outside today. Karen and I decided to hit the Red Deer River in town. There are lots of places to fly fish too! We are lucky enough to walk right out the door of our house and be fly fishing in less than 5 minutes. The Red Deer River is off colour (about 2 feet of visibility) and reasonably low today for this time of the year!

Karen wanted to cast dry flies and she had some takes but no hook ups. I nymphed and the good old wiggle worm helped me catch several goldeye!

Look for a riffle with a drop. You might find a goldeye, whitefish, walleye, pike or a brown trout! Lots of bugs were hatching today.








One of my favourite hatches is amping up!



So frustrating to continually find evidence of poaching. Sigh. Have the Report a Poacher Number handy and on quick dial. Take a photo and send it in!
