Water & Hatches Update

Almost every stream and river in Central Alberta is in good shape, with good water levels for this time of the year and generally good in stream temperatures. This weekend's cool weather will essentially kick us into early fall stream conditions, so we should make it through the season without too much hot water impacting our fishing.
Lakes will cool down somewhat this weekend as well, which may foster some movement to the edges. Stratification will continue through late Sept, but there will be more time each day for fish to cruise the shoulders of local lakes in the cool waters.
So, as long as we don't get deluged in a sudden change of forecast, all systems go. :)
Hatches?
Fall caddis, tricos, hoppers, flying ants, tan and grey caddis, blue winged olives, slate winged olives, remnants of pmds, still some golden stones, mahogany duns will begin to show this weekend in the cool weather, some sulphurs, black caddis (minor importance).
We're only a week or two away from the start of boatman season... joy!
