Melt off

The snow on the tops of the mountains melts and runs
into the rivers usually in July. That is why the river levels
are lower in June. Phil and I experienced low water
(the right amount) last year all over. This was before
the melt. This year Spring has been late and still cold
at night. I'd say we won't see any melt before or during
our trip. The fishing in June may not be the best Alberta
offers (full on in late summer) but I assure you it is
the best you've experienced. We will work through the
learning phase, and as Maritimers we know how to, and
quickly be landing big fish on what ever fly and or technique
works. Last year it was early morning stimulators 2 feet above
a prince nymph and by 9 am when the sun came up we were
all on dries. Big bulls like both and can always be caught at the
bottom of a pool with big and black. Fishing below the falls, way
down river, in a canyon section, will be an amazing experience.
I look forward to the fishing, laughing, and helicopter ride.
See you ladies on the river!
