Was there yesterday. Tough fishing as well. Got one to net and had two big cuts break me off.

Perhaps its cause everyone and their dog and flyrod is fishing the watershed. Can hardly believe the pressure and social media mentions this year, mostly cause central Alberta is rained out.

Every year it's a busy watershed; this year, an absolute zoo.

But hey, my father and I heading down in 3 weeks, so we'll just have to put up with the crowds, since we're part of them!

I actually only saw 2 people fishing the stretch I was on. The Livingstone looked busier.

You must have done some good detective work.

Every single person I've talked to says it's busier than the norm.

This province needs to follow BC's lead and get going on classified waters license, and use that money to help subsidize increased enforcement.

Livingstone is usually busier. If you really want a zoo go to the crow

Spent yesterday on the Oldman with a good friend, we also hit the Livingstone. What an excellent day, the weather cooperated and the fishing was decent. Between the 2 of us we landed several, mostly on dry flies with a couple on nymphs.
