Sadly, no. Got out on the Crow once or twice this year, a few lake
trips, and one short expedition into the Gap, but it has been a pretty
non-fishing year for me. Lots of excuses, but I guess the biggest is the
amount of travelling I had to do for work.

I did get to spend a week in Turkey at a conference. That was pretty cool..


I'll bet it was. What areas did you visit?

For me it's been a non-fishing year as well. I got my week in the
Smokies and fished one day while we were in Italy in September. Other
than that it's been dead. It doesn't help that we were in the throes
of a 2 year drought until September. My favorite river was literally
drying up before my eyes. It had become a series of pools separated
by damp spots rather than a river.

But things are looking better now.

I was in Antalya, a resort town along the Mediterranean. I was at a
conference, so I was mainly at the resort but we did get out and tour
the local area for a day, see a dance performance, and swim in the
Mediterranean. I really enjoyed it, and will likely be going back with
the family for a longer visit.

Tim A good book on Alberta is Barry Mitchell's "Alberta's Trout Highway
Tim - Fishing the Forestry Trunk Road". It is availabale at amazon.ca

Good tip. The copy that is being sold on amazon.ca is a used one sold by
a third party. I will try to locate a new one somewhere. I guess some
fly shops might carry the book. A quick search produced no result. I
will continue my search.

While I was browsing the internet, I bumped into a couple of really nice
trip reports from the area. I must say, it looks like a nice place
indeed.
