RJL2 Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Hi Vince Undecided about tomorrow. Like you, depends upon the weather. Little or no wind it is a go. If it is windy like Friday I might go sailing. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vince Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Rick I'm the same way as you with the wind ...but the weather report is looking not so bad. If I had a van to sleep in I just might have joined in on the festivities at the lake. We might just see each other there tomorrow.

Doc Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 (edited) 64 more days 'til Muir opens for the 2006 fishing season. Last year my biggest trout was 19 inches caught off the dock with a floating docman in October after a day on the water (I just couldn't get enough that day). This year we'll finally see some brutes breaking the 20 inch mark. Here's to a great year at a great lake cheers Doc Edited February 25, 2006 by Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimD Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Sheet. I will miss my first Muir opening - Kelly and I are going on Safari in April and we won't be back until May 13. However I will be there on the 14th, nursing jet lag with some of Alberta's finest. Just to reflect on that May 1 2005 to October 31 2005 season, in comparison to the 2004 one; I would have to say that the trout ca. 2005 were largely acting as they were supposed to. By that I mean that when just about every insect came off, the fish were focused on the right things at the right time. I have to admit that I was a little disappointed in Muir during 2004 because the fish seemed to be targeting big things that moved instead of la nourriture du jour. And of course back in 2004 I was using la nourriture du jour with a ‘perfect’ presentation to try and catch fish – but they were interested in big furry things that moved in funky ways. Fast forward to 2005: the fish were in the groove, they knew the food and were happy to see it in front of them. So happy that they bit and bit and bit any presentation that was a reasonable imitation of the active food. I would safely say that I caught about 30% more fish (per angler hour) in 2005 over 2004. I fish by the information outlined in the Education Centre – hell I wrote most of it – and it was sure nice to see that the fish at Muir fell into line with trout in any mature lake once they know what type of food was on the table. It would be safe to say that once fish are in a lake for a year or two that they are more in tune with the food supply of that particular body of water. If you go out to Muir in May and are catching less than 3 fish an hour, I would suggest that you drop by the education centre for a little refresher training.

albertabowhunter Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Do you think the ice will be off for the opening.... South buck was over 2 feet today.... and thats an hour south still.... Then again, the open water from the aerators will help open it I guess.... Later, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave robinson Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 May 1 and still ice? I doubt it. That's more than a month away. If we get two weeks of warm weather, with our current sun angle the aerator holes will get big pretty quick. As a matter of fact, a week of warmish weather would make me think twice about going onto the ice at Muir. Those aerators circulate a lot of water that would be exposed to warm air and would eat out the ice from underneath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sofaking Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Hello All Im new to this forum and just found out about Muir lake in the past few weeks. Just moved back from a few years in Texas. Im looking forward to get out and do some fly fishin once again. Quick question about muir I have a 14ft Zodiac would that be welcomed on the lake.. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave robinson Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 A 14 ft zodiak would fit right in with Barry White's drift boat and Dave's large pram. Just remember,there's a speed limit and electric motor only would be appreciated.. It's a small lake so those are reasonable things. You'd be even more welcome if there was room in the boat for a friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertabowhunter Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Only condition is that you blow up the Zodiak with your mouth...no pumps :lol: just kidding.... if you have an electric motor, will you pull me to the other side of the island? I want to save my energy for casting... Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave robinson Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Yesssiree! :lol: Let's have the "Scratch Lands a Whopper" pool. Nearest day and hour up to, but not past, the netting time. We could do it like a 50/50, set the price at $2 per guess, with 1/2 the proceeds going to the Weiner and the other 1/2 to a bottle of good single malt to help Pops while away his prolonged non-fishing hours.
