Fly Fishing the Parkland Region of Manitoba


The New Fly Fisher paid a visit to the Parkland Region of Manitoba last Fall. Phil Rowley did an outstanding job showing how he likes to fish this region in the Fall. Take a look. It is an educational show.




An excellent show from the Parkland Region of Manitoba!

Maligne Lake Streamer and Blue Flash Damsel for Maligne Lake


I just finished tying up several streamers for our trip to Maligne Lake in July! Maligne Lake is spectacular place to fly fish and camp. Parks Canada has three designated camps on the lake that require reservations. Karen, several of our friends and lately our grandkids have gone to Maligne Lake. We love the fly fishing and you feel like your are part of a scene from a post card. It is a very special place.

Last year, We had excellent success fly fishing with Blue Flash Damsels and this year we are going to try a tried and true streamer that several guides use at Maligne Lake. Never forget chironomids, caddis patterns and some micro leeches.

If you spend any time fly fishing at this treasure, be sure to add a few of these streamers to your fly box.

Gearing Up for the New Season


It is April 1st and that means getting organized for the upcoming season! Filling in empty spots in fly boxes is a high priority! I have been checking my batteries and I opened my kit bag to quite the mess that needed serious help from Karen and I. It is at least under control! If you are under the age of 65, head over to Alberta Relm and get you 2024 fishing license too!

Happy Easter everyone from Karen and I!
