Yeah, sorry about that. We also feel it isn't always about catching fish, but the adventure all together. We're also still learning how to film all this, and the fish don't always cooperate. I have chatted with a few Fly Fisherman in the fly shops and they had mentioned the Castle has been quite difficult this year. Of course, everyone is welcome to hit the fast-forward button if they don't want to wait. We'll try to do better.

Yes, the regulations these days tend to be much more confusing than before. Normally under the "Season" column is where you will find when a body of water is open or closed. Fishing during the "Closed" or "Off Season" is against the regulations, even if only catch and release, and could result in a fine. There reason being for example, In the spring or fall, when many lakes and rivers are not to be fished, is mainly due to the spawning cycle of certain fish. If you catch and release a fish, pre or post spawn, there is an increased likely hood the fish won't have the strength or energy to either complete the spawn, or recover from it. I have personally seen anglers that have fished closed waters, receive massive fines up to $800, depending on the officer. In my opinion, it's just not worth the cost. If you'd like, feel free to check us out on Facebook, and if you have any questions or want some suggestions as to where to go, just shoot us a PM! We'll be more than happy to help you out. Just know, you're not alone when it comes to these confusing regulations.

@@fishonalberta I'll definitely give you guys a follow

@@fishonalberta I find it frustrating and interesting that most of the lakes in the Parkland land area are closed most of the year. if I'm understanding this correctly wabamun lake is closed right now?

@@TutorialClan It is absolutely frustrating. Part of the reason I believe is because of the "Season" itself. Technically the season runs from April 1st 2024 to April 1st 2025. For Wabamun Lake in PP2 the lake is / Open from May 15th 2024 to March 31st 2025. / So the lake is open now. It will only close at the start of April 2025 and re-opens May 16th 2025. Hope that helps buddy! And thanks for the follow!

I'm an idiot I see that now I thought the dates were reversed when I originally saw it

Yes, we did pay for the Thursday night, and we came out the following day. A practice used for decades at first come first serve campgrounds. The extra cost just to ensure a spot is sometimes very worth it.

I believe there is now, yes. There wasn't when we filmed this video. The river was actually about a foot or two higher than normal when we went.

You know, we've actually talked about that. Also on the old battery I had velcro on the bottom to help keep it stable. I forgot to apply it on the new battery. But, we have definitely discussed a box or something.

Thanks! A buddy of mine actually found it at work in a junk pile. I don't know how I ever sat down without it!

Yes, almost all of the fish were caught while trolling at a slow speed and pulling 2 nymphs. They were probably just inches below the surface. Due to the excessive weeds, I was reluctant to use the sink line. I had used a BH Prince Nymph, and had 2 fish take that, but the majority took the Hotspot Pheasant Tail Nymph. It could have been because it was the trailer fly at the bottom. Who knows. But it worked. Thanks for watching!

@@fishonalberta I rarely troll with 2 flies, good reminder that this is a valid technique! Thanks

Thanks man!

You are not wrong. I know there are times where we could take a shorter path, but we're always drawn to that section, and go out of our way sometimes just to drive it. Definitely no shortage of views along HWY 533.

Yes, Electric and Gas motors are allowed on the Kananaskis Lakes.

Yes sir! You can also watch me tie the Midnight Fire in the Fly Tying Playlist. But you're absolutely right, I will start showing more of the flies I use in each episode! Still learning. ua-cam.com/video/YY3kQyVxhpk/v-deo.html - MIDNIGHT FIRE FLY TYING

Thank you! That must be nice. We had attempted the Sheep River a few times this year, but by time we arrive, it's always high and dirty. We're hoping to film on the sheep later this year.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks! It is definitely one of the better places to relax and land some nice fish. That's good to hear! I hope you guys catch a lot of fish, and create some awesome memories!

Definitely a hidden gem. It helps that there really isn't any signage pointing you to the lake.

You got it! I have had some memorable days on the water where there were little to no fish on the line, but the surroundings and the wildlife made it worth it.

From what I was told, some of the volunteers had begun "renovating" the dock a few weeks before we arrived. Guess they fell behind. I will go back toward the end of the season and see if anything has changed.

They finished the dock recently it has wood up to it but the old wood is still there it looked like they were still working on it

The biggest was about 20". I believe my dad had the bigger one. Rain just keeps everyone else off the lake. Lol

It does wonders. Sometimes the fish won't even strike, unless I am trolling.

Nice! Hope you have a great time! Lots to see and do out there.

I haven't personally seen them, however, just last year someone told me they caught a small pike in the pond. Will be nice once Gleniffer Lake is back up! Might do a video on that side.

Glad you enjoyed it! More to come! Thanks for watching!

Very true. I haven't really payed much attention to how long it takes to fill up. I normally fish Dickson in the summer, when it's full.

Thank you! I completely agree, when you're out in nature looking around, you tend to forget about a lot of issues in life and just focus on your surroundings. Hope you have a great time fishing!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. If all goes well, there will be plenty more to come this year.

Thanks Broski!

Thanks for the tip! Sometimes they strike like lightning, and there's barely time to react.

@@fishonalberta absolutely true. I enjoy your videos and hope too see you out on the water.

Yes. First Come First Serve. I went out on the Thursday before and grabbed the site.

That's advice to live by. When we see a crappy forecast, we just hope it scares everyone else off the water. It's great to share the experience with the younger generation!

Thanks! That is great idea. It's nice to have it at your fingertips. Especially when you need to show someone else.

UA-cam's algorithm can be on the ball sometimes. Vic & Ter saw schools at the beginning of the day, but not much afterwards. The derby I heard about from a couple of folks on the lake that day. After doing some research, it looks as though it is an annual family day derby. Can't find a whole lot of info on it, but will definitely keep my ears to the ground. If I find any info, I will post it on our Facebook Group.

Naw. They actually saw some of my videos on UA-cam and asked if I could be their web designer for the season. The owners are good people though. Still plenty of spots left if you're looking to book.
