I have been getting a pile of emails from people asking how the fishing is around these parts. So instead of replying to all of you here is a quick update on what the haps is.
THE ELK:
Things are getting better on the Elk but she is still a little fickle.
I had a great day out on the water with some long time clients yesterday, we fished dry all day and pulled a lot of fat and healthy Cutts on retarded big dries. However on the same day on a different run one of my collegues couldnt buy a fish on dries but railed meat all the way down the river using nymphs. This is just how the Elk is right now, most days you will probably have to use all the tools in your chest to catch trout.
The outlook is very favorable for consistent dry fly action in the near future, in the past week or so I have already notice a difference in the dry fishing. If the water continues to drop and clear the way it is I think we are going to be in for a fantastic August and September.
LOCAL TRIBS:
Honestly I haven't fished Michele or any of her counterparts in quite some time, but I imagine they are fishing well.
SW AB:
I fished the Crow on Saturday and Sunday with fairly limited success on dry. Water levels are dropping rapidly and the fish seem to be a little snotty. Seems that the fish haven't turned onto hoppers just yet but I expect them to soon.
Tips:
-If your like me and you like to fish dries then I recommend that you fish late.
-Take your time with the water, if you do good things will happen.
-If your day isn't going as well as you want it to remember one thing,
EXPECTATION IS THE BEST WAY TO RUIN A DAY
I think this video is hilarious!
BUT IF YOU AREN'T FOND OF PROFANITY DON'T WATCH IT!
