This is the first year we can think of that our mountain streams have all been low, clear and fishable for opening day. Steve and Josh went down south for opening day and floated the Waterton River. There were no monsters landed but streamers produced large numbers of fish and many nice fish in the […]
Well typically the rivers are unfishable from snow melt and spring runoff, during June, leaving us with just the lakes and reservoirs for options. The Bow has remained fishable thus far. They drained 6m of water from Ghost Dam to make room for potential runoff/flood water, without bothering to check the snowpack that was left […]
Josh accompanied Richard French and Slipstream Angling on an incredible liveaboard trip to Cayo Cruz, the distant edge of the same Marine preserve that is almost unreachable from the docks of Cayo Romano where OFF normally hosts. The Yacht was Avalon Fleet I and although its not the newest liveabaord it was an incredibly clean […]
May was a very busy month for the OFF team. Pike trips were in full swing the boys were scrambling to get ready for the Clearance sale and BBQ at the Fly Shop and we doubled the hours the shop is open. The shop opens everyday at 7:30am and Monday – Saturday it closes at […]
Josh and George headed down to OGR this year. Dean had to bail last minute and Steve stayed in Calgary to continue working on all the paperwork for the new shop. As per usual Orvis put on a first class show and we can’t thank them enough for their hospitality and generosity. The speakers were […]
We had an enjoyable 2 day float with more repeat guests the day after April fools and a few other regular guests have been out with us but the reason we’ve not been doing more guiding is due to the fact we’ve been doing inventory and our due diligence before we purchased a fly shop! […]
Josh was invited to join an industry friend Mike Hennesey of Hawaii on the Fly on a hosted trip to Ikari House on Christmas Island. Josh has been wanting to go to Christmas Island forever now and his first impressions were every bit as impressive as his final one’s. He managed to drown one DSLR […]
The weather’s been great again this week and the river has fished well. We did 3 float trips this week and guests were catching the number of fish we’d expect to see in peak season, not in early spring. Dozen plus fish days while floating in March are not to be expected but absolutely need […]
With the crazy early spring we’re having the ice is off the river everywhere in town and the river is fishing very well. Naoto has been out several days a week and Josh and Paula have joined him on numerous occasions. We’ve had such unseasonably warm weather that we hit mid teens (14C-16C’s) several days […]
