Freeman river
Was wondering if anyone has been up to the freeman river as of late? heading up this weekend regardless but was wondering what the water conditions are like right now, thanks.

was up two weeks ago with the family, didn't fish but the water was clear and just the right level to pick out the holes.

250 fish in 11 hrs? Hmmmmm...lets do the math. 11 hours is 660mins, divided by 250..... You must have meant 25 fish.

Nope 25 fish would be pretty dull, 250 fish was accurate.

A fish roughly every 2.5 mins..... Its one thing to over exaggerate. But this one is a bit much.

on the Freeman river when it is on, 250 fish in 11hrs is believable. most of them are going to be small i bet. i have fished that river and had 100+ fish days in only 8hrs or less of fishing (75% were 8" and under) and was catching fish on just about every cast, sometimes even had 2 or 3 fish going after hook at same time. also had days where 20 fish in 8hrs and working for those 20 fish.
there are some really nice holes on the Freeman that are chock full of fish if you are willing to do some exploring and walking.

I believe you too! Especially with 3 people. Really want to fish the Freeman but its a pretty long trip for me living in S Alberta. Did you catch any Athabasca rainbows?
