We’ve decided on the area for our big spring fishing trip – and this year we decided to go out of province, to the White Swan/Top of the World area! A couple people from the local Jeep club have mentioned that there’s some awesome wheeling to be had, along with some spectacular fishing – mentioning a story of a 26lb trout being caught in the area 3 years ago!
Can’t wait!
End May, beginning of June can’t come soon enough!

Went out west of the city, at a small pond just south of the North Saskatchewan with Shan and Rob this afternoon. I had the first hit, 2nd cast, just after we arrived – but unfortunately lost the fish just before getting it to shore. By the end of the afternoon, I had landed 2, and lost 2. Not sure how many Rob lost, but he landed 5!
Shan ended up landing one for the afternoon – but he was testing out a new rod ;^) (That’s his story… and he’ll be sticking to it I’m sure! lol)
Was a great afternoon to get out!

Finally got around to renewing my fishing license. Thought I had to renew my WIN card, but turns out okay until 2013!
Our pontoon boat frames haven’t got back from North Fork Outdoors yet, but going to go wet a line tomorrow afternoon for a few hours anyway.
Should be fun!

Have a look at this PDF – this is a partial inventory of a friends supply after the shop his family ran closed it’s doors in 2001. The prices are all retail from 2001 and earlier, and Shan is open to any reasonable offers on the supplies, plus shipping.
So whether it’s hooks, dubbing, feathers, chenille… whatever you can think of, have a look.

Planning has begun for our annual spring fishing trip, and this year, we’re planning on venturing out of province.
The details aren’t set in stone yet, but some of the lakes we’re looking at exploring include some lakes in the White Swan Provincial Park area. Might take the Rubicon along, so that we can just set up camp once. Looking forward to some spectacular scenery, along with some great fishing!
