Aug 10 fishing report

Continued unsettled weather is not helping, but it isn't hurting too much either. Most of the storms are forming above the lower foothills, leaving the upper cutthroat trout waters alone, and benefiting the lower brown trout waters by injecting cooler water and keeping in stream temperatures slightly lower than most summers. All in all, while unsettled, the benefits are there.
Again, almost all waters in the central Alberta region are in great shape. Lakes are a little warm, meaning early am or late evening fishing. But the streams and rivers are almost perfect - slightly above seasonal flows and great visibility. Again, a great time to go fishing!
Flying ants are starting to hit the water - this hatch may wake a few big browns up mid day for all you Red Deer R faithful. Lower reaches toward the city are best.

Hatches - golden stones, pmds, brown drakes, tricos, caddis, midges, mid sized hoppers, yellow sallies, lime sallies, flavs, green drakes in high country. Flying ants lower foothills to parkland area.
