Ken Short and I float the stretch from the hwy. bridge east of Canmore down to the campground at Deadman’s Flats. It’s a sunny, breezy 10°, the river is low and clear. Still lots of snow and ice on the banks. Pretty slow going, as expected. Ken gets a RMW, an 18” brown, and another whitefish. I land a whitefish so
-2 for the day. Ken somehow picks the brown out of a pod of whitefish! There’s a few canoeists and local fish bonkers out – bait is legal up here. Leave at 10:00, pull in about 5:30. The setting is still spectacular.
