The spring found us guiding and fishing in Alberta on the Oldman and Bow rivers with some great success. The Bow produced some excellent browns on a variety of patterns while the Oldman showed us again why it's a world class rainbow trout fishery. The weather in May was excellent and it seemed as if summer was approaching fast. Then the clouds opened up in June and began hammering rain upon us here in the Elk Valley. It got so depressing I fled to the West Kootenay's for some relief and upon returning found some sunshine. The rains brought the river up fast and it's pretty much looked like chocolate milk for the last little while but it's slowly coming around. Brown or not the Golden Stones are so big and bright the fish still find there way up top to them and its seems the fishing, although spotty is really turning on at some moments. We have a few more days of sunshine and by the weekend the river should be explosive. Some green drakes are showing up as well and the trout are responding well to them. We will pretty much be fishing everyday from here on in and will be using this here blog for updates. Stay posted for photos, talk and all that other fish stuff.
