The region is in great shape! With the only exception being the lower reaches of the Ram canyon where slightly high water continues to undermine the shale and sandstone cliffs, all waters are in great shape. It's a perfect time to be on the trout streams in central Alberta. Anglers are encouraged to get out while the getting is good... a heavy rain front is scheduled to come in on Monday with an inch of rain for the Sundre - Rocky Mountain House area Monday night through Tuesday. Cooler wet weather will follow. For brown trout streams, this could be quite good. For cutthroat trout rivers, it will slow the fishing and narrow the dry fly window to mid afternoon, though deep nymphing will be productive from late morning to early evening.
EDIT - Aug 2 - The forecast changed to less rain. That's good news. The cooler air will still see cutt streams slow a touch and the sunnier weather won't be as good for brown trout streams. Kind of a mid zone for each, but still great conditions.
Hatches - golden stones, pmds, brown drakes, tricos, caddis, midges, mid sized hoppers, yellow sallies, lime sallies, flavs, green drakes in high country.
