| cutthroat tail |
The PMD hatch continues to be good on a local tailwater river. Some trout are sipping in the slower sections of the river such as in back eddies and just off of the runs and riffles, often in very shallow water. This year I've noticed a lot of Seagulls in the eddies and they are munching mainly on mayflies along with the trout. The trout don't seem to mind. If I see Gulls I figure the fishing will be good. I continue to catch good fish mid-afternoon even in bright sun by focusing on the spots where the bugs are collecting. You have to pay close attention as many rises are subtle. I love this type of angling: big fish, small fly hatch, subtle rises and shallow water. If summer storm clouds roll in late afternoon the angling even gets better. For the small fly enthusiast living in the south western corner of Alberta this is the river where it is presently happening!
Here are some pics of beautiful trout fins.
