Chumming the Crowsnest River, July 8, 2012



I fished the afternoon. Same heat as yesterday. I looked for risers and saw none. There are no consistent bugs (hatch) on the water to get fish up and feeding in a rhythm. There are still some golden stones around, smaller stones, some caddis flies and a few pmd's. I watched a bank section on a back eddy that I know well for 20 minutes but there was no sign of life. I tossed a live golden stone into the eddy current and as it drifted a head came up and ate it. I casted  into the same current lane, let it drift several feet and the fish took it:  A 16 inch rainbow. When there is no hatch start chumming!
