fall whitefish streams
hey y'all just wondering where's a decent stream out here in es1/es2 for targeting fall rockies? it's still a species on my to get list (should be a blast on light tackle) and now that it's fall i'm thinking that it should be easier to get some to bite in smaller streams? i'm thinking streams like the sheep or highwood would produce? would the bow or rdr be fairly empty given that they're up spawning in the tribs? i think i'll just be nymphing some ww's or sjw for 'em. appreciate the input!

Unfortunately our streams are suffering from drought this year with extremly low water.

What about the Elbow where it enters the Bow?

thanks for your thoughts y'all! i've actually never tried the confluence, maybe it'd be worth a shot! that's awesome, i'll shoot you a dm 270! i think i tried the sheep a few years ago and just caught some tiny rainbows in town in mid summer. but considering it's a trib of the bow there must be some decent ones in there!

Absolutely. Some days I only catch a couple but some days I catch to many to count. |
Anyone try the McLeod this late in the year for whites?
|
Getting a bit late but try try the Highwood west of Longview. Can be really big days if you find a school. Good luck!

just got home form the Highwood, Only one small whitefish but the cutties where good but taking small Tricos (size#20) in the film.

Thanks for the update Lornce |
Thought I would mention that not all rocky mountain whites migrate. There can be some resident whites local to a stream too. I have caught RM whitefish all times in the winter in the North Saskatchewan river right in Edmonton. Goldbar park where the warm water treatment discharge doesn't let the river freeze. Whites were there every month.
