This past weekend I finally got the new Jeep off-road! It was a blast for sure – and a huge eye opener to see what this vehicle is capable of – and I didn’t even get close to pushing the limits.

It’s going to be exciting to see what new destinations this will open up for fishing!

Fishing on CityTV
Mike Monteith, aka Doc, is the owner of the Alberta Fly Fishing Forum. A month or so ago he had the pleasure of going fishing with a CityTV crew… and the segment aired just a couple days ago.

Been at the cabin here at Gull Lake for a few days now. Not sure which parts of this lake would be best for fishing – and with the size, I don’t think I’ll be cruising across it in the pontoon boat! Definitely been tempted though – supposed to be pike, walleye, and whitefish here.
So I drove the other morning to Ironside Pond. It was nice drive through Rocky Mtn. House down towards Caroline.
Upon getting there however, the road was gated closed. I had look at Mithchell Lake, which is directly south of the Ironside Pond turnoff. You drive through a cow pasture, and then down into a little valley. The lake is very small – definitely looked fishable, but not too exciting to spend an entire day at. So I ended up contuing my way south on 22, then headed a 5km east towards Caroline, where the Burnstick lake turnoff is. Headed up south again here, and went to Beaver Lake.
I was the only one there as I began putting the pontoon boat together. The fishing was slow (which I was kind of expecting), but I did bring three to the boat – ranging in size between 12 and 15″. I ended up heading back to Gull Lake after fishing for about 4 or 5 hours.

Lance and Greg, both from Northern Lights Fly Tyers and Fishers club that I’m also a member of had been subjected to the reports from a number of us about the hogs of Swan Lake. Well, they finally made it out this past weekend and they’ve put together a video over at their site, fiftynorth.ca.
Enjoy!
