For a second year in a row. tacohunter places first in the city of Richmond fishing derby landing a 4.6lb bow this year.

Well done!

This past weekend marks 25 years of getting together with these buddies to engage in some campfire fun and fly fishing.

In the past this derby has been hosted at Badger, Roche, Tunkwa, Watch, Hatheume and Fawn.

Although many late nights were had, everyone managed to catch fish with the largest being 3.74 going to Iceman and Scott landing a 2.63 followed by the Bcflytie guys coming third and fourth.

Weather held out and knouff lake resort stay hosted an amazing dinner!

Good times and a big thank you to all the guys who have been coming out year after year to fly fish and hang out.

Slower overall today but buddies managed to hook into some fish. Chironomids and pheasant tails worked well but scooter hooked a bunch on boobies.

Although the weather has been somewhat u stable with snow, wind, hail, rain and sun over the past two days, a lot of fish have been brought in.

Mostly pheasant tails as there was a huge may fly hatch but also on chironomids of any size or colour.

Day one broke off a really big one in the 6is category but today managed to land a few decent ones.

Bite was o. At one point and out is five boats someone had a fish on at one point over a couple ur hatch.

Here are a few pics. Not many taken as it was busy.

Well the fish gods have finally given me permission to get out after needing to get my trailer bearings fixed, outboard motors tuned up and more recently a new radiator and water pump in my fish mobile.

As usual my first trip was a short day trip to a favourite lake but this time brought along a newbie to fly fishing as well as Mark from Bcflytie Guys

Fishing was steady all day but again mark out on a clinic landing over dozens of fish for the day(and it was a short day!)

Our boat hooked into a couple dozen fish but more importantly got the newbie hooked into indicator fishing.

Such a beautiful and action packed day in this amazing local area.

Great to get out on the water for the first time this year. Boat and trailer are good to go and although I am dying to get out to experience still water ice off, it was still a good feeling to land one of these local fighters.

Wish I had time to check out the river.

Getting ready for summer. A few more blacks and purples and then moving on to the smaller patterns.
