I might have an extra boat if my son doesn't go. We will have to see. If he goes to camp for the weekend it is yours to use. And if you want you can ride out with me, if you would like too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemo99 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Good day today on the Red Deer. No rain, but a bit windy in the morning. I caught three walleye, Trent and Quentin bagged a bunch of whitefish. We were targetting browns, but they were nowhere to be found. There were a couple of nice mayfly hatches, but we only saw a few fish rise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To bad the wether wasn't as favourable as it could have been and bit more heat would likely have made a difference in a better hatch and possibly moved some Browns to feed more on dries. What section did you guys float? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 We floated the damn to Hwy 20. The fish were just simply "down" all day. I'm wondering if it was the moon, the rain yesterday, the drop in termperature, and the funny way Ken wore his hat. Dunno.... QT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, the hat and temperature combination likely put it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemo99 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 The only time I took the lead was when I went water skiing behind the jet boats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quentin Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 Was nothing wrong with Ken's hat, of course. Must have been the 'cold front.' But, off they were. The gear guys were complaining as well. At the end of the day, one guy talked about 20 browns two weeks ago, 12 last week, and not a single one caught within a mile of the boat launch on Sunday. I need to do a couple of hours of work at the computer to get photos ready to upload. There is one of a very large brown that Ken lost at the net. We're not letting him count it, because the rest of us had no success. QT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quentin Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 Had a chance to take a few pictures. I'm surprised I've gotten these online so quickly...it's the first set complete this summer! Was a great trip. I love that river; there are just so many wonderful "fishy" spots. I think it took us 7.5 hours to make the float because of that. I wouldn't mind exploring some more parts... This mayfly is the one we saw the most of. Forgive the poor focus; I was using a macro lens at about 8 inches, and the boat kept moving. He was about size 18ish, and yellow. Next up, we have some very pretty deer. I saw them a ways off, and got my camera out, and didn't move. It's amazing how close they will let you get. It's another good reason to float a river... Wondered where the river got it's name.. Next up, we have a few pictures of Trent. Finally, here's the problem, Gary. I was taking pictures, when Ken hooked a big one. I told him to smile for a shot. Then, I worked my way out of the water to get close enough to get a good shot of the fish, but Ken lost him. Personally, I don't think this photo is proof enough.... I'll let you all be the judge whether we count it. All in all...great day. Good company, good river, good Whitefish. QT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 In Europe there's an ungulate known as a Red Deer. Looks very similar to an Elk. When early settlers arrived, there were lots of Elk in the region, which they mistook for Red Deer, and so named the place. Interesting trivia- in the movie "The Deer Hunter", they're supposed to be in the Appalachians, but all the deer footage is of European Red Deer.

Garhan Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Nice little Muley Bucks. A couple more years and they will be great in the pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
