The weekend should bring wider swaths of open water along the Crow. Please use caution as the banks are icy, trout are spooked and settling in after ice up, and there may be the chance of ice jams. Great new nymph and steamer patterns in the shop, with dozen discounts still on. Our weekly SALE is 30% off fly lines, weight forward and double taper. Please call if you'd like something set aside. 403-563-8510. Hardy does it again with exceptional new rods at great prices. These guys never cease to amaze! Check out the new Zephrus and Glass...too sweet! The shop is open Wednesday thru Sunday from 8-5...hoping to be able to shovel in by tomorrow!

Great Summer!! Waters were low , clear and full of hungry trout. The Cutties were keyed in and continued hammering dries...big PMD and Green Drake hatches on The Oldman , Crowsnest and Castle. The finicky Crow Rainbows were in a generous mood, and continue to be eager. We've been fortunate to have the cloudy days and intermittant rains keeping the water temperatures necessary for happy trout. Thanks to Sam Grenier and Adam Chiasson for the great assistance, guiding and shop talking! Blue wing olive time is fast approaching. Shop hours remain 8-5 7 days.

Great conditions on the Crowsnest! The rains brought relief and stirred up some bugs. Fly shop backed with new inventory including Patagonia, Echo, Airflo Rio, and Korkers. Open 8-5 Wednesday thru Sunday until June 14..then 7 days/week...Summit lake and the Oldman are fishing well also..spawners still at it so please avoid the redds, usually in the shallows where you might cross...SusanAlberta Fly Fishinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11360277489060556342noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6424752759373182039.post-90004244286248300242016-03-31T15:25:00.001-07:002016-03-31T15:25:14.710-07:00April<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Florian joined us as a guide and did a great job. Fishing continues to be well worth putting up with the lower temps , and occasional winds. New 2016 Hardy products arriving soon in the shop, and some warm and cool Patagonia gear is in place.

Rivers in great shape..low , clean and clear. BWO's , Caddis and PMD's the fav's right now. We are very happy about the new Castle Wilderness and Provincial park..many have worked for many years to see this happen in such a delicate and beautiful area. . Big sunny sky's ..perfect .<br /><br />Alberta Fly Fishinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11360277489060556342noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6424752759373182039.post-22927931646878025332015-09-06T17:37:00.001-07:002015-09-06T17:37:53.731-07:00Crazy weather, crazy times. But the hatches and trout behaviour are as consistent as ever. We,ve had snow in the higher elevations, causing a bit of colour to the Oldman streams and mid crow sections. P.M.D's still a factor as B.W.O.'s are coming on strong with Caddis a close second. Very exciting news for the Castle area . A large designated Wilderness area with a Provincial park locked in encompassing the Lynxx , Carbondale and the upper tribs of the Castle. looks like excellent fishing ahead..sunshine , cooler temps in the streams and more open waters...all the best Susan crowsnestcafeandflyshop.caAlberta Fly Fishinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11360277489060556342noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6424752759373182039.post-16682872538748401862015-08-31T18:30:00.000-07:002015-08-31T18:30:01.795-07:00Well that was a busy August! High temperatures, low clear water...closures. We were fortunate to have the mountain tribs pushing cold water into the main streams; and fortunate that so many fishermen shared our concern for the trout habitat. All rivers in our neighbourhood are open, except for the St Mary's. This has already been an incredible summer on the Oldman, Livingstone, Castle, Lynxx and Crowsnest. Full on hatches beginning with Skwalla's , Golden stones and smaller black stones. PMD's into the mix early, Green Drakes in early June, and still showing their wares! BVWOs are showing up more often now and fat Caddis too. It's looking like a wonderful fall season, best to everyone and I hope you've had a chance to visit, Susan crowsnestcafeandflyshop.caAlberta Fly Fishinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11360277489060556342noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6424752759373182039.post-6349286922430339102015-07-21T14:25:00.003-07:002015-07-21T14:25:55.745-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

All surrounding waters in amazing shape..Livingstone, Oldman, Crowsnest, Castle and Waterton are producing good hatches. Stones pretty much done, but filling the hole are PMD's and Drakes. Yep, it is dry fly heaven ! Waters are low so the big guys are cautious , check your tippit these trout can tie their own clinch. Terrific flies in the shop right now, still deals on dozens , and daily Sale items...all the best, Susan<br /><br />Alberta Fly Fishinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11360277489060556342noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6424752759373182039.post-70323096086361501962015-06-17T09:33:00.003-07:002015-06-17T09:33:43.779-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
