Glenmore Trail - Policeman's Flats
A lone pelican kept pace on the water ahead of
the canoe until he let me
pass just upstream of Fish Creek. The fishing
was decent in the morning
with two browns hooking up in the first half
hour with a SJW and prince's
nymph but then the forecast high winds arrived
and I was blown up, down
and side to side with the changing directions.
The odd green mayfly was
seen and blankets of midges were about, covering
stretches of water and
on the underside of any wet rock. Some fish were
feeding on them too,
with some rising fish eating them for a half
hour about ten in the AM. Water
clarity was 2-3 foot and Fish Creek put in a
little dirty. One heck of an early
spring workout it was, working mostly against
the wind and had to have an
evening siesta upon my return home contentedly
exhausted. Dreaming, too
I'd bet, of that fifteen pounder I've heard of
but have yet to catch. It is out
there still.
On the river 9 AM - 4 PM.
