RangerBob Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Alberta Alan, Scratch and I hit the Bow River on Saturday (after stopping in at Fish Tales first to buy myself a new 2wt rod / reel / line and case, and Alan got some new Gortex waders). We hit the Bow near Fish Creek Park, Carsland Below 24 Bridge, and McKinnon Flatts. Great day! I landed 4 browns, and 1 rainbow (almost one right after the other at Fish Creek, Scratch landed 6 that day, and Alan landed about as many as well). All taken on my SJW bead head pattern that I cranked out the day before. GREAT SUCCESS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerBob Posted April 9, 2007 Author Share Posted April 9, 2007 Any day you don't have to wader up, and can drive right to the fish... is a good day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerBob Posted April 9, 2007 Author Share Posted April 9, 2007 We shared lunch with some Black Capped Chickadees. http://www.hww.ca/hww2.asp?id=29 (Hinterland Who's Who) The boys were impressed when I showed them you could get these birdies to land readily on your hand, and perch on your finger even without food in it.

vince Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 RangerBob Way to go big guy...what a great day on the Bow. You, Scratch and Alan sure took your share of some very nice looking fish. Let's see now, new SUV, new waders, new vest, new........ , fly shops must now be very happy. Nice job guys and thanks for posting the pics.

agrombacher Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Hey Vince, Dave Blair hugged us all when we left. It was a good day for him. Great shop, and the Blair's are good folks. Fishing was good. Lanny and Scratch caught mostly browns, but I caught mostly rainbows. The weather was good and real cold depending on the moment. Them new waders are nice. I think Lanny's fishing success was because he was wearing that cool hat!!!! Cheers, Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratch Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I would actually suggest that Lanny's success was a result of whoring the honey hole for the whole day. I even told him where to fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agrombacher Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I think it was the cool railroader hat that he was wearing! Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerBob Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 AA, yer right... it must have been the black hat over my eyes with the dark glasses. I could not see absolutely anything, so it was like Jedi training. I had to use the Force to find the fish. Speaking of.. SnoWolf... we need to get Scratch one of these for his Birthday at Dolberg this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
