May 30 a.m. - Sean Britt
Topic: Fishing Reports|Went out this AM for an hour and a half before work. Great cloud cover, no wind, and outside temperature was about 14. This morning’s information from Alberta Environment shows flow at 86.76 m3/s and water level at 1.175 m. Information from Banff is flow of 72.70 m3/s and water level of 2.531. Visibility was okay at about 2-2.5 feet. Didn’t see much activity in the air/surface, but there must have been something nice going on sub-surface. Hooked into five. Three cookie cutter bows and two nice browns around 21/22. Bows were caught in medium-depth water (about 4′) that was choppy and slightly faster than walking pace. All of them took a 14 rubber legged bh copper john. The two browns were both caught in really shallow, choppy water (about 1-2′). One took a size 14 caddis and the other took a 14 black rubber legged bh copper john. Didn’t flip any rocks or run the sieve, as I had to get to work. The cloud cover was great, as it helped with the early AM glare. Heard that there are some size 6/8 stones coming up, as well as bwo’s (14-18), midges, and march browns (10-12).
