I had to run some errands
in Calgary today and since I had my gear in the
truck and I was in the south end of the city, I decided to hit Fish Creek
Park
It was a beautiful day
to be on the river and it was fairly quiet for a Wednesday, however there were
a few anglers on the water. Nevertheless, it seemed that the fish were winning.
No one was getting any bites; including myself. I must have tried ½ of my fly
box before putting on one of my variations of a San Juan
Well it was on my second cast
with the new fly, a rocket of a rainbow trout catapulted out of the water when
I noticed that my indicator had disappeared and set the hook. It gave me a good
fight on my new Redington 5 wt, and with the Amundson reel screaming out line,
I turned up the drag and proceeded to see what the new rod would do.
It didn’t take very
long before I slipped the net under it, and admired the likes of this beauty…
They say where there
is one there is usually more and after a couple of that Rainbows younger
brothers to the net, I had to call it a day…the gates were about to close at
6:00 PM at Fish Creek, so I had to pack it in and get out of the Park.
Winter fishing on the Bow River
Tight-lines,
