Happy Canada Day Everyone!
Karen and I slipped out to Sylvan Lake for 5 hours to fly fish! We were keeping a close eye on the weather radar. Pop up thunderstorms were on the horizon. Luckily we were treated to perfect weather. We fly fished with zucchini chironomids and bloodworms. I even landed a decent pike on a bloodworm! The water temperature was between 59F and 62F. We did very well in 11 feet of water. We usually fish a foot off of the bottom but today we were only 7-8 feet down! We called it a day when the jet skis and overpowered motor boats came out in full force. By then, we had already had a great day! Get out on the water early at Sylvan and you will avoid boat traffic!
We saw lots of fish activity from mayflies, caddis and chironomids!
I hope you are enjoying Canada Day!
Even suckers like chironomids!
