I can hardly believe that our nightly low temperatures in Central Alberta have been dipping down to around -10C the last week. Water temperatures are now below 50F. Today at Sylvan Lake, the water temperature was 48F! Unlike yesterday, it was a big blue sky day. We did not launch until after lunch. We were glad we waited until the mercury crawled up above the freezing mark on our thermometer.
We found lake whites in all the usual places that we fly fish. The best seemed to be around 9 or 10 feet of water with our blood worm imitations about 8 feet down.
We just used our pram today but we made sure that we had two batteries. That was just about right for us! We added extra layers so we would be comfortable. The wind changed directions twice on us and we were both glad to have an extra jacket along!
Enjoy the beautiful weather that the next three days are going to give us! That lawn work can wait!
