It was all clouds above. Alone in the river valley. In the middle of the foothills; middle of nowhere. A storm was coming. Then a fin broke the water. Just one. A rainbow.

IT'S ABOUT TROUT, SIGHT FISHING AND DRY FLY TRICKERY

Bob, that dark winged cripple has served you well. The Crowsnest looks like a nice piece of water for casting to sippers……
Hey Les: Yes, it has been a good fly…the Crowsnest is considered the perfect trout stream: size; character. Un fortunately the last several yrs hasn’t fished as well as in past: less fish and poor hatches. So far this season things have been slow. When it is “on”… yes lots of sippers.
Been busy and haven’t checked many blogs lately. Will see what you have been up to on weekend. Thanks for dropping in. Good luck on your spring creek as I’m sure rivers are high.
