ROFFians,

I just returned from a wonderful trip to the Crowsnest Pass and
environs. We went there for SWMBO's high school reunion and I took the
opportunity to educate myself on the trout in the Crowsnest River.

I also learned a lot that day. The water was clear enough that I
could see fish rise to the fly and refuse or take it. That taught me a
lot about the drift I was getting, and made me concentrate on keeping my
casts short and controllable. After a while, I started seeing the
"flash" even when I couldn't see the shape of a fish, and that's when I
caught my biggest fish, as I saw him move underwater and was able to
target him a second time.

It's always great to learn stuff as you go. It sounds like this water was a LOT
different than the streams you're used to fishing in Texas, so fast education is
essential. Nice TR, Chuck.
