Quick Rivers Update
The snow in the high country that fell back in mid Sept continues to melt. Rivers attached to the rockies are up a bit and murky. Red Deer, Clearwater, S Ram. Others are in good - great shape. Lake fishing is "ON".

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.

July 30 Fishing Report
July 30 - 2010
The region is in almost perfect condition, though water levels remain higher than normal. Lingering impacts on fishing are now down to the Ram in the mid to lower canyon reach where water levels continue to scour the sandstone, keeping visibility down and sediment loads up. Otherwise, most everything is in good to great shape! Perfectly timed for this long weekend!
N Ram is fishable - 4 - 5 foot vis and green-clear @ Nice Cr
S Ram - mid to lower canyon is a little high (watch the crossings) and visibility definitely poor. Much better upstream.
Upper Red Deer is in good shape - watch out for jet boats this weekend.
Blackstone is in good shape
Prairie, Red Deer tailwater, Little RDR, FallenTimber, Dogpound, etc are in good shape, though lower reaches may be impacted by the t-storms forming further out from the foothills recently.
Hatches - golden stones, pmds, brown drakes, tricos, caddis, midges, mid sized hoppers, yellow sallies, lime sallies, flavs, green drakes in high country.
The Hinton - Edson waters along the #16 corridor are all clear and low as of this morning.
