Put me in the newb Fly Fishing column as well.

Prairie boy born and raised, used to trolling with damn near any spoon for Jack, hell even an actual spoon works.

Or jigging around structure for some nice walleye.

This spring/summer though my research is taking me back to the Rockies, at the UofC Biogeoscience center: http://bgs.ucalgary.ca/

Just 10 minutes south of Highway 1 towards Nakiska Ski Hill. I will be spending months walking up and down Mount Allen collecting streamflow measurements in the Marmot Creek Research Basin.

I own a lot of fishing gear, but no fly fishing gear. I am going to buy a combo package when Cabelas opens up here in Stoon in early May, and use that to try my luck out there.

Any recommendations for spots close to where I will be, that I could get to and fro after supper with enough fishing time to make it worth it?

Also, how do you fly fish? Haha... this is going to be an adventure.

I heard a rumour that in Alberta there are 2 fisherman to every fish... how true is this?
