Lower Castle River June 30th 2009



Stayed the night in the big city of Cowley with the in laws....dreaming about fishing as my wife give me the go ahead. Headed out around 11am and decided to hit the lower Castle just above the bridge on highway 65A (the old highway 3A from pincher) as my father in law gloated that the locals have been "crushing" it as of late. Water was quite high but extremely clear considering. Started off with a black Parachute Caddis and landed a 10" cutty along the west bank after only a few casts. Not much action after that so switched to foam. A hour of nothin! Walked upstream and decided to try a Olive Woolly Bugger streamer. Right off the get go "crushed" a 10", 12" and 13" in a half hour. Back down stream for me as I was under time constraints and through a flipper under the bridge. First cast landed a 15" to end the day.
