Default Serious?

Funny...We stopped for 5 minutes to talk to a gentleman just loading up from a few days fishing at Whiteswan. In that small amount of time we learned what was biting where they were active what to use...went over our experiences on other lakes in the area and talked about the Elk river. Guess what the fisherman was a local from BC. We go same time each year and plan to share a refreshment next year.

If you want to be humbled, try a trip to Terrace and you can be outcasted in distance and number of casts by the spey rod experts. Of course, if they use a sinking line I guess they wouldn't be pure fly fishers anyway...right?
Everyone knows you cant cast a sinking flyline form a jetboat, right?
