I had the good fortune in late August to be generously treated and guided by Vic Bergman to a day of angling on an unpressured Cutthroat stream. Vic is the owner of the Crowsnest Angler Fly Shop (see link below) in the Crowsnest Pass , SW Alberta. He has owned the shop for 30 years and guided in SW Alberta and SE British Columbia for 40 years. He is also a photographer (see 2nd link). The creek is one of his favorites. It is as pure and clear as any trout stream on the planet. Vic knew several access points and showed me a series of stunning pools where he anticipated trout would be rising, and they were. All I had to do was make the cast. A special creek and day. Many thanks to him for access to the stream, the day, the exceptional photos and guiding. It was the highlight of my angling season…

Hi Bob,
It was a great day, with some great fish, and great company! It was a special day, that’s for sure. We’ll have to do it again, sometime!

Hey Vic: You Bet! I’m going to try and get a few days on the creek for next August, late in the month. Will let you know what date (s) I’m trying for late February, before booking period opens. Like to try that upper section you mentioned.
Thanks for commenting.

Great photos of the day.
Hey Brian: Yes, Vic takes great photos. He even took videos of me hooking and landing fish that day. I’ll show them to you some time. Three of us worked at his fly shop this summer and all of us got an outing with him on a special river…
Hope all is well. Thanks for commenting.
