With some time with the short one I decided to take a try at Waterton Canyon. I knew there would be alot of hiking involved and I know some times he gets tired of just walking and wants to just fish. I jumped in the water as soon as I could after about 10 mins and a couple of good spots I manager to hook into this little guy. After that the fishing went pretty well. Nothing of real size for the first mile. but I did hook into a lot of little guys. After about a mile of walking up the river I jumped out to move up a little faster as this was a new water and I wanted to find the bigger ones.
This is the sign I saw when walking up the path. Hmm wonder if being in the water fishing is a good idea??Throwing caution to the wind I jumped back in and look what was waiting for me at the first hole. He sat there the entire time I was fishing. Just waiting for me to catch a little one and let him have it for a snack.
Climbing on the rocks above that hole I decided to fish for a bit. This is the picture of the one that got away. He was the biggest fish I caught today after hooking into him he made a run for the falls being kinda stuck I tried to muscle him back up grabbed the camera and snapped the picture right after he threw my lure and splashed back down into the pool.
After catching a few more small browns I decided to jump back out and venture further up the stream.
Hmmm This trip may get really interesting.
Twenty minutes later I look up the hill to see this guy watching me . I know the picture isn't great as my little camera isn't meant for long range pictures, but that is a bear that little black spot in the middle. I decided that I had enough fishing and jumped out to walk back down the trail. Overall Waterton canyon was a great fishing trip caught alot of smaller fish and a couple big ones. I would recommend bringing a bike as there is a road to ride on and the fishing gets better after the Marston Dam which is 3.5 miles up. Remember this area is artificial fly and lure only and there is a 2 trout limit if you plan to keep them. A day spent fishing is a day worth living.
