Default Fish Creek is an evil mistress!

Tough day. A lot of people along the banks. Any of you have success down there?

Ya it was fairly busy but not hard to get a spot.
The afternoon wind sucked for fly fishing.
Was there from noon to 5pm and didnt see 1 fish caught.
I got skunked too....and I can count on one hand how many times I've been skunked in the last year on the Bow.

Fishing was awesome today...21 for 32 hits. Water is warming, fish are active. I noticed a lot of people fish in areas where there is no/few fish. If you aren't catching anything, maybe you should move. Standing in one spot for hours is not the best plan.

Yeup. Pretty much what i heard about the fishing yesterday too. Dont understand why the average person wont cover water. Are people really that lazy? A fish in the bow can only see one indicator drift over its head so many times that it gets put down for a while.

It's probably your rod...you're using one of those Helios things aren't you?
I'll trade you for my Berkley Spirit circa 1978
