Quentin Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Stauffer is open all year, yes? I might just need to get out of the house and down the highway soon! QT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dell Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Yes Stauffer is open all year, and parts of it are sort of ice-free most of the time. Forecast is for plus 6 and 9 this weekend in Rocky. But I am busy Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyfish Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 This would be considered winter (ice fishing)... I just can't do it. R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisS Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Roy anyone up at 3:30 am would for sure ice fish. ::ice fish:: My thought is if you can cast into it, it's not ice fishing. what you tying this weekend. I was working on partridge & orange on wed night I might continue on. I will have to do a bit of work on my Ray Bergman flies also. Stop in to one flyfishing department Sat to find some funky blue floss & a deep claret tight Lines Always Dennis S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfish Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 No ice fishing against... the code, Walton would be turning in his grave, if we didn't give the fish a rest. Nose to the grindstone.. finishing a few patterns from Edmonds & Lee. I had completed orange & partridge, but they look a bit darker than translated, so have to make my own wax for pearsall's silk. As you know Sylvester Nemes is rally know for his midge pattern syl's midge. I have started tying from his instructions from his book Soft Hackle Fly Imitations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratch Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Well - again I love seeing the patterns favoured for this amazing little creek. As we all know - 80% of success on that stream comes back to preparation, and 20% seems to be the responsibility of the creek itself. Yesterday, I was prepared - but she was an unruly little darlin' of a creek. Not quite ready yet folks... Photo taken looking upstream from BFW bridge. And this - of the 3rd. Seeing the water level at the 3rd bridge meant seeking out this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/scratch/8619334968/in/photostream/lightbox/ and a familiar face landing this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/scratch/8619336246/in/photostream/lightbox/ Hang in there kids - the season is coming!

vince Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Scratch Thanks for the up-date and the photo's ....awesome looking brown Alex Vince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dell Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Thanks for the photos Greg. A week ago the creek was in fine shape, but now the runoff has begun. It may be a week or two until all the snow melts and the creek goes down to normal levels. The Clearwater looks good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratch Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 You guys would have been so proud of him. He fished that section like a pro. Well. I suppose he is now. Manager of a Kelowna fly-shop better know how to stalk a brownie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
