Lower Waterton - June 28

Sorry for the delay -----Wholesale and I took a half day and headed out to the lower Waterton. Water was extremely low for late June.

Wholesale, in tribute to the Blind squirrel, who is was too busy still searching for his winter stockpile, started with a caddis. Sure enough first cast he caught a little dink.

While it wasn't a stellar day, wholesale did mange a few bows and whitefish on a variety of flys, while I hit three different species with a nice 11 inch brown (my goal for the day, it felt like ages since I had landed a brown). 10 inch bow and a small whitefish, all on foam. Did have what felt like a decent size fish hit the foam while I was retrieving it but wasn't able to set the hook. The strike was more of a shock as I was looking for the next cast when it hit.

Not to sure where all the big fish have gone on the Waterton but the size was quite disappointing again.
