I will message you. This is my kind of fishing! Thank you for posting this and so many others. I am fishing vicariously through your videos until our Alberta creeks are open again!
Awesome milestone man, congrats. I'll take any size fish in any size of water, any day of the year. You had a good end to the day, that was one ferocious little eater. I'm also looking forward to seeing you get back to the bow, enjoy your trip!
Small stream, small fish, small rod small reel, small line, small flies, big fun. I fish with a 6 and 1/2 foot cane rod on some small streams for Arctic Grayling and rainbows. Fun fun fun.
great video! The smaller creeks and streams are always fun :) Might help your hookup percentage if you lifted the rod up instead of setting to the side. Seems to work much better for me at least. just my 2 cents
Thanks for watching and the feedback! Definitely appreciate your tip, I have a hookset problem where it feels weird setting straight up lol idk why! Hoping to get back on a small alberta stream this summer 😊
Thanks Ian, so you don't mind the longer video? I might have to go try something like this up on the other 'creek' about 1.5 hrs north on Vancouver! Does it fish well in fall?
@@RosinFlyFishing dry fly fishing videos can never be too long. All rivers get better later on as they clear up for rainbow, bull trout and salmon action!
We use fish Beaver ponds in the back of Spring Bank golf club, Brown Trout up to 6lb maybe bigger! and the upper Elbow River come spring time, monster Rainbow Trout would come up river from the Reservoir to spawn, 10lb maybe bigger!!
Hey man, I actually normally would if you reached out by email but right now with water levels and warm water it wouldn't be responsible to fish this water at all so I'm going to suggest the Bow or larger systems and only in the early mornings with current restrictions in Alberta :)
Hey rosin, I love your videos and I’m new to fly fishing and I’m wondering where this creek is so I can try to catch my first trout on a fly rod. Also how do you find your fishing spots, is there an app. I try googling for creeks and nothing pops up so I’m wondering how you find these? When I’m fishing a river with wader, where it I put my net with out it going in the water?
I use a magnet system and carabiners to clip my net to my waist belt, or backpack. Others just lose their nets on the river quite often lol. Not me! As for spot finding, it can be tough. It's just a google maps satellite mode search game, followed by maybe some internet hints of systems, followed by checking if a stream is considered a 'tributary' of a larger system, and then checking regulations to see if that system includes tributaries in it's regulations, then checking regulations to see if it's open and if certain species are restricted, and then beyond that sometimes there are first nation territory lands that are not legal unless you have permission, and then there are provincial parks, and national parks with their own regulations. It's a lot of effort sometimes, that's just the reality! But it's good to start with big systems on google maps and then follow them upstream to smaller blue lines, find the names, look at them on satellite mode looking for accessible spots/roads, deep runs or riffles, etc
Thanks! I understand both sides of it, and recognize that more folks are on the side of keep names and spots to yourself :). I like to share sometimes, but there is so much value in exploring new things!!
Try not to net little trout or salmon parr like that, they're juuust the right size to strip their mucous layer off when wriggling through that type of net, could easily mean death for them. I suggest getting a hook release tool or something like that so you can set them free easy.
Not a bad thought, thanks for mentioning that. Definitely don't need to net these littles, though sometimes I might think it's better to net them and risk their escape than dangle them mid air (if those are the only options). Ideally I can jiggle the barbless hook out from shallow water with none of the above :)
can you tell me where it's safe to consume fish in Calgary? I was reading on forums that the bow is very polluted and shot not be consumed. One person said even if you go beyond the dam, the water from Banff is polluted and comes into Calgary. I'm completey confused as to where you can safely consume fish without worrying about eating toxins and too much mercury. It seems like you have to go an hour out of the City to be able to catch and eat fresh fish.
Retention (keeping fish) is NOT allowed from the Bow River and many other flowing rivers and streams in Alberta. Please check your regulations! If you want to catch to eat the fish you have to find specific places where to go. I don't know any of these, sorry. Easiest to buy the fish you like from the store tbh
@@RosinFlyFishing Glenmore reservior has limitations on fish that is allowed to be kept, but it's still attached to the bow river. I couldn't find anything that says where calgarians are allowed to catch and eat fish. Do you know if isolated ponds such as Eagle lake and Mclean pond would be safe to consume? I'm totally new to fishing, so there's tons of information I don't know.
The person you talked to has no idea what they are talking about. There are no heavy metals in bow river fish. However you can’t keep ANY fish from the bow, and the multiple hundred dollar fine is not worth 2lb of trout. Our fisheries are pressured enough - go to the grocery store

I responded :)
hell yeah, loved it. Also want to congratuate you on 1k!!!
Thanks Eric 🥳
Great to see you still posting. I used to watch you when you were first starting out. Great progress.
Thanks for the early support 😊. Still fishing and filming, though a newborn daughter has put a pause on that haha
Nice to see you back and congrats on a great day of fishing, well done
Thanks Sean. You gotta do some fly fishing... :)
Gotta love some fast action dry fly fishing! Congrats on 1k =)
Always! Thanks Bob ❤️
Dude .. I love the small streams and sometimes even the smaller fish .. the small fish hood some really vibrant colors .. good to see u back in Berta
Totally agree here, small stream fishing is some of my personal favorite :)
Welcome back to alberta! Solid day of fishing!
Thanks Jessie! It was a nice welcome back trip :)
Congrats on 1k! much deserved. 2k here we come 👍
Haha perhaps in time!
@@RosinFlyFishing oh ya for sure!
I think I will make an appointment with that doctor, lol. Great video. All the best.
It's tough to find the good ones haha. Thanks for the feedback :)
Congrats on 1K subs!!! 🎣🎣🎣
Thanks guys! At the rate you are growing you will be there very very soon :)

Haha the Bow sessions goes very poorly. Maybe next trip it'll cooperate!
Dry fly eats are the besttttt haha
Agree!
You came back!
Haha briefly yes!
Small stream, small fish, small rod small reel, small line, small flies, big fun.
I fish with a 6 and 1/2 foot cane rod on some small streams for Arctic Grayling and rainbows. Fun fun fun.
That sounds like a blast, grayling is a bucket list fish for me :)
I recently discovered a small stream near kananaskis, cant wait to give it a shot
Nice! I love small stream trout fishing ❤️
great vid, thanks for sharing
Thanks!
Jealous of that dry fly action! good job buddy 😎
Haha thanks!

Always! I post my fishing whether it's an awesome day like this or a terrible day of skunk :)
I could watch this type of fishing endlessly. Reminds me of the crazy surface fishing you can find locally later in the year.

@@iancollings5047 oh boy that excites me!!
Where were you? It's not the Livingstone. Just curious as its a lovely stretch
Hey John, I'll tell you no problem just email or connect with me elsewhere! :)
@@RosinFlyFishing whats yr email

Yeah I would have loved go hit the upper Elbow but it wasn't in the books this trip, maybe next time!
Quite the fisherman you are targeting spawning rainbows.
@@dontdriveangree No, there coming up river to spawn and in holding pools, not in there spawning beds.
@@johnkenny694 are you poaching? That stretch upstream of glenmore is closed to June 16 for the exact reason of letting rainbows spawn.
@@dontdriveangree Tsuu Tina Nations gave me full permission to fish any time of year. So was i Poaching?
Nice video. Would it be possible to know where this is? Thank you!

Where is this creek and do you have any good trout fishing spots near Edmonton and Calgary area
Email me (check my channel page for email) :)
I could find it
Fish creek? Or the elbow?
We may never know .... (Both system are nice imo!)

Nice video. Nothing bugs me more than people asking where this is - do some exploring and find your own little creek. It's in Alberta, how about that?
