Ashya Frederick fishing the lower St Mary's river in early September. The water was warm and the sun shining on a typical summer day. The St Mary's river is a very fisherman friendly river that continues to produce great fly fishing every year. The best way to get the full experience is to float down one of the many sections of river. The mountian range called the Steeples is in the back ground all day long.

This is my brother Jim with another Cutt Throat he caught while visiting here last summer. After five days of fishing the Canadian Rockies he commited to returning every year. What a great trip our family had. Traditional late summer flies and technics were the order of the day and produced several large fish for everyone on our first annual family fishing trip.

This is a photo of my wife Susan and just another big fish she landed this summer. We both caught a lot of fish that day but this was the troply we talked about on the way home. We did finally get a good photo of her smiling while holding the fish just before the live release. When fishing these high country streams you have to be prepared for wild fat fish that just don't want to be handled. This is why we don't use a net so we can get them back into the water as fast as we can.

This is my son Jason with a large West slope cutt throat trout caught this past summer. Just a few days before I was walking through a part of the river and noticed a big fish swimm away as I came upon him. So when Jason and I came to the same spot a few days later I told him the story and suggested that he try to catch him before we waded into that portion of the stream. He did not think it was a likely spot but I insisted that he give it a try. Needles to say he won't second guess ole dad again.

I live here and fish these waters every year. After a better than normal season this past summer I wanted to share some images with everyone. These fish and the surrounding mountain vistas are all part of high country fishing in the Canadian Rockies near Cranbrook B.C.. The scenery may not change but the fishing only gets batter as time goes on. New fishing practices and basic common conservation efforts has insured continued great fishing for years to come. I hope you enjoy the photos.
