Paulf Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 ...well...we fished several lakes and pits and also hit the Blackstone, we were thinking of hitting the Brazeau river, but just simply ran out of time...we original were going to fish DC17 at Dismal creek, but due to the abundant signs of bear scat and prints, we decided to err on the side of caution and took the safe approach and did't push our luck... ...I will start first with a few pics from the Blackstone river...enjoy... ...here's Johnny...fishing a very nice run...

Paulf Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 ...this looks like skinny water...but it is deeper than it looks...a nice looking spot for holding fish...the fish didn't like anything that we offered though... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulf Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 ...Dan had one rise for his fly in this run, then it must have run off...wasn't interested in anything after the first take... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vince Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Great post Paul...you are a good storey teller...would have been nice to have seen a trout or two. Vince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulf Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 ...yes Vince...it sure would have been nice to see and/or catch a cutty or two...but one cannot predict what the fish will do... still fun trying though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dell Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Paul, You should have seen some trout or at least whitefish. I think I know that stretch, at least it looks familiar to me. But continue your story. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulf Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 ...Mike,...that's it for the Blackstone story...the next story is regarding the fish outing at Muskiki Lake...I'm sorting through the pictures to post and the re-sizing them, then I will post them...

Paulf Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 ...Vince...as far as story telling goes...I think it helps with the pictures...one can't tell if one is feeding the bull or telling the truth...but I like adding the little tidbits...happy to hear that you enjoy them as well... ...wait until the next story...there are fish in those pictures...
