In reply to Michael Ostlund. Nice Michael! Totally agree, those were a real beat down, but the reward was worth it, especially with the bugs. I vastly underestimated those portages and packed heavier than I should have. Glad to hear you enjoyed the trip (or, at least the lake) :)

I seen your name in the log book at the cabin on Old Woman Lake. Those portages were some of the toughest I’ve done. Combined with rain and bugs it was a true test. Beautiful lake after all the effort though.

In reply to Pat R. No problem Pat, I hope it's useful. Sorry to hear about your local fly shop - which shop was that?

Thank you Steve for sharing this-I think this is fantastic! I’ll try to collect ( or learn to tie) these and will appreciate the countless hours you’ve certainly dedicated in curating them. Our local fly shop closed last year; they were previously my go-to for types/timing of flies or nymphs. I’ve bookmarked your full reference!

Hey Pat, the panfish do really love bead head nymphs don’t they… I fish for them at my dad’s place sometimes and they’re surprisingly fun on a fly rod! Glad you’re taking advantage of what’s local!

Great update! That was a great looking rainbow trout! Thanks for sharing some images of the stonefly & brown Drake.
Had fun last week with some small rock bass on whatever beedhead nymph was already on my fly rod.. They seemed to like it.

In reply to Simon. Thanks Simon. Hope you're having a good time in Alberta, sounds great! I've never been out there, but it's on the bucket list.

Nice update Steve! I haven’t done much trout fishing in Ontario this year, but currently having some fun with the trout in Alberta..
