Well, the rainbows are all upstream doing their spawn thing at the moment, so they are off limits due to closures in those areas ect... Saw a few really nice fish in the shallows last weekend, presumably browns, but couldn't get a single bite... As for the weather, run off is picking up, so by the end of the month it might be blown, but it really depends on temperature. Or you could give the bow a whirl if it is not blown. Lots of good alternatives though... might try some of the lakes like wedge, or quarry for grayling. Bullshead in medicine hat has huge rainbows (a trophy fishery). Stauffer is a beautiful spring creek, so it probably doesn't experience a big run off, but is probably one of the hardest to fish creeks due to the cut banks, willows, smart fish, really specific hatches ect... But it is awsome! (try it if your ego is ballooning

)

Cheers,

Jon

Thanks Jonny 5 for the intel. Its nice to get out and try for different types of species of fish. I wish I had more time to spend in Alberta fishing. So many types of species that I havent had the pleasure of catching yet. Rappala fishing for Browns at night, swinging huge streamer patterns through those deep pools in the Eastern Rockies for Bulls. And stripping mouse patterns for chars n pike. Ah heaven, keep them reports coming. And no, I had ego shrinkage in my last outing on the Bow $:-\$ Good times though
