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…
