Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there on this windy blustery cold day. I hope you are able to spend some time with your family! Family is important to me!
Well the last week has been busy! Two days ago, Karen, Steve, Taryn and I made it out to Swan Lake, west of Caroline. It is a beautiful place to fly fish although it is a challenging fishery. We landed just one pike and we got into several lake trout but they all shook off. Darn. The water temperature was still about 56F too so the lakes were not all 40 feet down.
Karen and I along with Betty and Steve were out chasing browns, rainbows and tiger trout too. The mosquitos were out and relentless. We had to cover up and use insect spray. We all got into some nice fish!
Hal and Adam hit Beaver Lake. Below is a throat sample of a nicer fish Hal caught. Blood worms were the order of the day. I usually tie on a fly called Duct Tape and fish it right near the bottom of the lake.
Brown drakes have been out on the Red Deer River. Keep an eye out on your favourite river! Rivers are slowly coming into shape.
Well this unsettled weather will soon be gone. Then we can get back to what we enjoy!
Thanks for the throat sample, Hal!
