Went out there yesterday. Thanks for the info, B. I did'nt get into any browns, just small bronzebacks that took the dropper. (I know they are OOS, I was just getting them by accident.) There is an island in the flow which I'm told harbors some nice ones on the downstream side. I can't get to them w...

what is float + fly?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but float + fly is a casting bubble or small float, trailing a fly, but chucked by spinning gear, right? Is there someplace online where I can see an illustration of this rig? I am more of a fly (but also spin) fisherman, who is: tired of carrying two sets of gear and: tired...

canoe

You're not kidding. I opted out of the canoe, but I could have used one. The lake bottom was silty and had holes in it, as I found out when I stepped into one and filled my waders. Nice.

calabogie area

Thanks.
